The "leave each other alone"-church.
Everybody would just shut up about their faith.
Sermons would consist of people doing whatever they want (talking, playing gameboy, reading the newspaper or a book, listening to music, playing cards...). And sermons would take place wherever with whomever is around.
I think it's ingenious because we wouldn't have to build a church or actually do anything.

The religion of do what the hell you want.

Basicly, you can do anything you want, no restrictions, except you have to be able to justify your actions to your peers. No good well reasoned arguement then your having what you did done to yourself or something similar.

I really can't think of a better religion.

It would be built on two moral laws: respect and empathy. Unfortunately it would be hard to find many followers. Respect has been devaluated and empathy is frowned upon.

I am not very eager to become the god myself, as I am quite lazy. I would have never created mosquitos when I alredy did lakes, calm evenings, bonfires and rum, for example.

The Church Of Mario.

Pilgrims would travel in their thousands to see a kilometre high solid gold statue of our favourite Italian plumber.

Binthwarjanglesnazzenblopplianitism. Everyone would worship and sing praises to my random, glorious, infallibly awesome ideas for movies, songs, games, books, and pastries, and ignore the fact that most of them have already been done, which is only realized after I thought them up. And bringing that last thing up is heresy.

Believe in yourself...there happy everyone can go home now...I wished it was that easy...ok ok let's get serious...a religion where the only way to survive is by being yourself and not thinking about going to church and stuff like that...the god of this religion is a normal human being who can change any human form so you will never know if he or she is standing in front of you...also he will only judge you if you are being someone who you normally aren't...if you don't have a good excuse he will forgive you...but if you abuse that freedom you will get to watch Miley Curys until you die...

Isn't it obvious.
We need to worship the internet.
The holy internet is the one omni=present thing that makes life better and worse for everyone. It teaches valuable lessons and is filled with all of the greatest things in the world.
Plus, it actually encourages masturbation and sex, instead of calling them a sin.

That the earth was a powerful super weapon that we must find out how to work it so that we may return to our original home, AND blow up anything in our way.

I've made up a few for a couple writing projects. One of them is a polytheistic (that's the one where you worship a bunch of gods right?) type that is practiced by a village (actually a few villages) of these "forest dwellers" who firmly believe that the modernization of the world is what caused most of the human race to be wiped out. The gods they worship are largely based off of old Norse gods, but there's also a few based off of book characters and works of art (I'm only saying that last one because I saw a few drawings/sculptures/etc. that inspired some of the gods.)
The "forest dweller's" counterparts who are trying to rebuild civilization go by a more spiritual belief. They still have one basic god, but they have a priestess that's kind of like a fortune teller. (she'll use tarot cards, crystal balls [although usually she won't], herbs, etc.) They believe that the spirits of the past manipulate their present and that they can help guide them through life. Also, they believe that fate is largely predetermined.

For this fantasy that I'm working on where people have the ability to change into an animal, pretty much every 'species' has it's own belief system. For example, the people who can change into birds believe that their god resides in the sky and has thus gifted them with the power of flight. But the three main branches of the 'bird society' (birds of prey of the day, birds of prey of the night and crows & ravens) have very different ways of believing how this came to be. The 'morning birds' believe that through the sun their god gifted them with flight, while the 'night birds' believe it was through the moon, etc.

Sometimes, I think I'm making things too complicated for myself, but I often have fun w/ making how a whole race's/societie's culture works.

Guitarism. A religion with hundreds of gods, such as the holy Jimi Hendrix, Kirk Hammett, Eddie Van Halen, and so on. We believe in prayer through playing. The more you play, the more pleased the gods will be.
Yesh!!

Jimi Hendrix - The patron god of those who wish to expand the limits of what is known and acceptable, and of those whose friends bail in need, and let you die in your own vomit.

Kirk Hammet - The quiet god of those who are constantly out-ego'd by their so-called peers, but who still remain ever vigilant, stomping the shit out of their wahwah-pedals, shutting the fuck up, and growing doll-hair on their heads.

Eric Clapton - The patron god of guitar players who have understood that speed does not equal quality. Many a Claptonist can be found traveling the land, getting laughed at by their acquaintances, who consider a guitar solo to be nothing more than a sweepathlon.

Jack White - The mighty god of pretentious dickwads, who can't keep their ex-girlfriends out of their bands, even though that cow can't play drums to save her life. White Stripes can go to hell. Guitarism's equivalent of Satan.
