I was discussing religion with a friend who lives in Europe last week and we were lamenting the state of conventional religions where we live. We are not really religiously inclined and in particular don't have much time for Christianity (given its history over the past two millennia), but feel that being members of a spiritual community would have many benefits, particularly at our present middle-aged state in life. We have put together a rough plan to revive a religion of ancient Rome that became sidelined with the growth of Christianity. Do any Catters have experience in this field, ie, pros and cons of starting a new religion, dealing with adherents, etc, or thoughts on the issue?
