Since you already know what you believe, why bother shopping for a mold to fit into? Why not fabricate your own "custom mold" and
tell everyone else to fit into it? Show the world what the "Monk" in "Monkey" is all about, and
start your own religion!
As the Founder and Highest of Holys, you get to call the shots... play your cards right, and you might hit the jackpot and end up like that "Bhagwan" dude out in Oregon a few years back- 20 Rolls Royce, a couple of private jets, and a haram of young babes anxiously awaiting your every command.
Maybe start by working on an internet presence... claim the usual great benefits, and tailor your "devine prophesy" to cater to the prejudices and anger... while massaging the egos and professing the inherent elitism... of your "recruitment pool," whoever they are.
Most go for the "99 Cent Store" approach- they need high sales volume (a huge congregation) because individually, they don't have squat for cash for you to "extract". But if you're slick enough (like the "Bhagwan") you largely bypass the need for mass-marketing with a "Mercedes Dealership" approach... for example, he looked for confused young women who were looking at big inheritances.
Despite the economic woes of the Globel Economy, for the independant thinker, there's opportunity in the Spirituality Business!
