Back in the 1940s Ron L Hubbard was a writer of science fiction. In one of his stories, the hero says, "If you want to become really rich, start your own religion." or words to that effect. He went on to follow his own advice, and the rest, as they say, is history.
As an atheist, I think people are entitled to believe whatever they wish. But I always say that religion is like an erection. It is fine if you keep it to yourself, but you will not make friends by ramming it down peoples throats.
