i just noticed something
Scientology, a crackpot religion, started by a fiction writer, L. Ron Hubbard
Mormonism, a probable crackpot religion, starded by a fiction writer, Joseph Smith
Both religions are younger than this country, and it is suprising that stupid people (aka Tom Cruise) follow these types of things...
There are about only 4 main religions that have survived over 1,300 years. the four i know off the top of my head are Islam (started circa mid 600's AD), Christianity (Started circa 35 AD), Judaism (Started circa 2000 BC), and Hindu (Easily the oldest religion still practiced today)
