Its interesting to study religions and see how and why things mean what they do to their followers . How cults made up of the worship of pagan gods and twisted truths became these huge religious bodies that encroach into every corner of peoples lives.
Anyone can start a religion..although they are referred to as '"cults" nowadays. We could start our own religion right here and now if we wanted to and have all sorts of nonsensical tenets. In a few hundred years we could have a whole money making entity with hundreds of thousands of believers.
