So it is well known that L. Ron Hubbard inspired Scientology
and Robert A. Heinlein inspired RDNA druids as well as the
Church of All Worlds, but do you know of any other SF
authors who inspired or founded a religion? And has Rael
written any science fiction? Also I guess the Star Wars
franchise has led many to put "Jedi Knight" religion on
census forms, but I think maost were not serious.
