By Sc*entology-tier I mean filing like a recognized religion for tax purposes, devotees registering as ELO~Nologists on the religious survey blank, and so on.
I think the chances are roughly a coin toss. If the writer of Battlefield Earth can start a cult/religion that's still going after a bet, maybe that's something that :my-hero: can pull off too.
It's weirdly unfair if Hubb*rd was more charismatic and actually tried hard to build and expand his cult and died far less rich than :my-hero: .
Even for grifters, the system's rigged.
