How do I get followers for my religion?
I have a core book written already with the ideas laid out, I'm 100% sure it could easily attract many people.

I should have clarified it's not related to Christianity, it's a new religion. Completely different system.
Religion is the stupidest shit I've ever heard of, And so are you.
Let's see the book
I fucked your mom
Still waiting for it to be published but I have it written. If it sells poorly I'll just upload it online for free.
You have to make it about peace and respecting mother nature and shit. Something that dumb 20 year old commies would cling to. That’s what Charles Manson did and he got people to kill for him so it should work
Paste an advance copy here. What are the central tenets of this religion?
Don't classify it as a religion. Instead, maybe a way of living/perspective. Everyone wields the kaleidoscope.
Bump
1. "God" is an archetype for one's ideal self
2. An ideal self is not just how you want to be, it's fulfilling your will, not just desires.
3. One's ideal self can be actualised, i.e. one can become "god" (think of buddhists imitating Buddha)
The religion focuses on actualising one's ideal self, i.e. becoming "god". It's not theistic but uses gods in a literary or archetypical sense.
I don't know what info to give, that's some of the most fundamental ideas though.
It's like the actual ideas Diogenes wanted to share like self liberation but without the public urinating. I've been following these ideas for years and it's helped me a huge amount so might as well share it and maybe help someone else since there's no actual handbook for life and everyone seems lost trying to fill the void with things that further their suffering
Die,
seriously. get crucified
ya pos
I will because dubs. If you have an actual criticism, I'll gladly consider it.
kill a bunch of Jews, that seemed to work for the Nazis.
you have already fucked up by writing the book
that is strictly a job for your deciples
Seemed to work fine for Scientology, idiot.
research how cults work and do that
Maybe OP is just in it for the money.
Anyone who isn't a nihilist is a fucking retard. You can find your own purpose in life and don't need someone else to tell you it. Don't follow something you sorta agree with.
is right, also Thelema and Satanism. The creators wrote the book(s) the religion is based on. Those religions have thousands or hundreds of thousands of followers.
I said if it sells poorly, I'll upload it for free. I don't care about money, just spreading the ideas. I've been beaten and, from following the ideas I'm trying to spread, I didn't suffer at all (not that a broken arm doesn't hurt)
I agree, don't follow things blindly. Take some ideas I have if you want, discard other ones, create life for yourself.
If you aren't incredibly charismatic and a good orator, it won't work. That's how all the con artists and psychos do their work. The only other option is to be a genuinely inspiring and incorruptible person like siddhartha guatama.
But we should be trying to subtract religions from the world, not add more. I just hope it's at least something grounded in self awareness or nature like buddhism or shintoism.
Careful Tony Robbins. That sounds like any generic self help book.
> I just hope it's at least something grounded in self awareness or nature like buddhism or shintoism
Yeah, it is. It's not the exact same, it still acknowledges the human condition in some form. Being self aware is a huge part of it, it could not exist without it. The self is the basis of one's experience of reality so controlling it is very important.
I left out things but from what little I gave, you're right. Self help books are utterly useless and give no direction, that's their selling point that it can literally apply to anyone. I don't think just anyone could apply these ideas I have, it actually requires knowing yourself and serious critical thinking. It's not something you can do in one day.
I'm already losing interest. Go be a life coach, man. We live in the most religiously apathetic time there has ever been, and it's only going to trend further that way. Religion isn't the way. Write a novel or something.
If it easily attracts people, then why the fuck are you here asking for advice on how to get followers?
>How do I get followers for my religion?
Die for a stupid cause and become a martyr.
what have you tried so far to recruit?
What demographic? Where? What's your pitch? How do you distinguish yourselves from other regions, from cults, sects, and even pseudo-spiritual or cult-like organizations that in branding distance themselves from religions?
this. Or that time that Steven Seagal said after bribing some Buddhist monestry so much money was made a Tulku. When asked he claimed that he, and indeed all living things are 'god' because there is godliness in all things.
Also he released a Reggae album. Top that OP!
this user is right.
OP, what is your reason for trying to pollute the minds of people with another useless religion?
just to be a master manipulator and thinking "haha I made that shit up" once you have a few followers?
is it for money?
in any case you would be part of what distracts humanity from further advancing and progressing towards a better future which can only be reached with science.
religions require and encourage blind faith which is the most harmful thing to a scientific society.
so how about investing your energy into something that actually helps humanity?
rewrite your self-help book to be not a religion trying to attract believers but a theory for self improvement that attracts people in need and contributes in creating a society focused on exploring the truths of our existence instead of making up fake ones.
