Invent your own religion. Imagine you are before Congress or some other form of Government and you have to provide a rationale for why your group /beliefs/ practices /rituals, etc. should be considered a religion. Some things to consider: What is your religion called? Does it have a founder/leader? Does it have text(s)? If so, what is in it/them? Is your religion attempting to answer existential questions (e.g., why are we here)? What kind of practices or rituals are involved, if any? What is your overall worldview (afterlife? Salvation?)? Is there a moral code? What about a justice system? What is the daily life like of a follower of your religion? Do they have any enemies?
You will be graded on how creative you can be. Also, it cannot simply be a sect or branch of an existing religion. I want you to be creative and innovative.
