Scientology

Scientology is a body of beliefs and related practices created by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard.[1] Hubbard developed Scientology teachings in 1952 as a successor to his earlier self-help system, Dianetics.[2] Hubbard later characterized Scientology as an "applied religious philosophy" and the basis for a new religion with the first Scientology church being established in New Jersey, December 1953.[3][4][5] A commonly held belief among Scientologists is that psychiatry and psychology are destructive and abusive fields, which must be abolished.

mormons

The Book of Mormon is considered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to be a divinely inspired book of equal value to the Bible. Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon religion, claimed that he was directed by an Angel to a hill near his home in which he found golden tablets containing the full text of the book. With the books he found two objects called the Urim and Thummim which he described as a pair of crystals joined in the form of a large pair of spectacles. Unfortunately, after Smith finished his translation, he had to return the tablets to the Angel, so there is no physical evidence that they ever existed.

Flying Spaghetti Monster

His noodliness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, wishes for world peace, happiness with the least amount of suffering, and for everyone to not eat spaghetti. His worshipers are Pastafarians, and most of them are proving that almost every religion cant be proved.

Christianity

For a religion to have a history of century after centruy of opression, rape, murder, deciet, crusades...and the list could go on forever, and the general republic believes it is good, definitley makes it the weirdest.
