   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.
