text: how do i create a religion, any forms i need to fill out? i have had this group of followers for the past five years and i'm wondering if there is a possibility of it going all the way. if u have a small group of followers its called a cult. when the group grows to a certain level its accepted and others will call it a religion. thats how it always goes. no forms required but u might have to put up a case with the local govt to accept it as a religion if u want ppl to get married under it and be legally accepted as marriage. scientology didnt do that in italy so ppl married under scientology in italy aren't considered legally married there
