FIrst you must start a church or organization. This costs around $45 for the paper work and tax ID number. You will be tax exempt of course. For approx. $75 more you can start your own religion. This is for filing the proper paper work.  You will need to be specific about the details of your religion but there are no requirements.

Why don't you go into Excell and make you own form.  It will be done in house and you could then tailor it as needed to better suit you, the workers and your church.  Best of luck.

Hello hamshahri,\nThe first thing I would do, if I were you, would be to REALLY learn english or another useful foreign language. If you are not satisfied with your life & the regime you are living under, then organize & change it. Your future & the faith of the rest of us depends on that!!!\n\nThe question is can you do it???\n\n~O

You already have a good start just by being aware of things you need to change. The best way is to ask God to help you and make you into the man He wants you to be.

Ask yourself this. Do you want religion in your life, or do you want spirituality? They are actually 2 different things. I think that relgion sprang from spirituality, but somewhere it got bogged down in power struggles, rules and dogma. There are very few people out there who actually believe in the spirit behind the religion, and just give their belief to the structure...i.e. the church/religion. \n\nI had the same problem a few years back. I felt guilty for not clinging to my christian roots, but had a hard time staying true to myself and hearing that I was going to hell by the same God that was supposed to be all loving. I took a long hard look and decided it was time to find something that would speak to the sanctity and spirituality of humankind...and ended up with Wicca. It's not the choice for everyone, and it's actually my own little form of Wicca. I have taken things from different spiritual paths and melded my own. And that is what works for me. \n\nLook to your heart to tell you what is right. Worship if you will, but do it out of spirit rather than fear and browbeating.  It is going to be a long journey, but you will figure out what you need in the end. It will take strength, but it looks as if you have started. Good luck to you!

You should not even consider changing your religion unless you believe in your heart that it is the right thing to do. Your job is not dependent upon your religion. There are many jobs in the USA that you can do without any experience, but if you have a degree the opportunities are better.

Start with the people who know you best and explain the basis of your beliefs. Start with one person who agrees and have them go out and do the same thing. Pretty soon the exponential power will bring you a flock as long as the dogma you put out is believable and aligned with the people you want to teach.

Absolutely NO WAY! I could not do that because I am happy with my religion. I don't let people affect my decisions. I make my own. I hope you don't let this "someone" change your religion.

That's hard to believe. I would change religions first.

Sounds like you are a kid still living at home?\nIf so.. you have no choices until you are emotionally maturely financially able to take care of yourself with your own place\nPeople will mock unusual or out of the norm religions ( Wicca I presume?)\n\nIf you are living on your own.. \nnot to sure how you are forced to go to parents house, and are hog tied to get you into church

I was baptized Catholic as a baby, and raised that way throughout my early childhood. Eventually my parents stopped attending church, and so did I. I never really felt connected to what the Church preached, but I didn't question it because I had never been exposed to anything else. Eventually, I went on a self-exploration. I took it upon myself to find, research, and learn about other religions, views, beliefs, practices, philosophies, theories, etc.\n\nDuring my soul-search, I made a collaboration of different things I found to be logical, reasonable, logical, and sensible in my own personal opinion. I basically created my own religion. I followed that path for a while, and relished not conforming to an organized religion, because my beliefs were free to grow and change as I grew and changed (and learned). Then one day a friend introduced me to Wicca.\n\nWicca is a Neopagan religion, first reformed by Gerald Gardener in 1940 based on what is believed to be the beliefs of the ancient Celts. The more I learned about it, the more in coincided with the beliefs I'd already pieced together on my own. Its lack of dogma allows any follower to define his or her own beliefs within little restriction. This allowed my beliefs to continue to grow and change with me. It also does not require any follower to conform to any other follower's specific ideas, as you can either practice in a coven with others who hold the same views, or practice solitarily (like I do).\n\nI would recommend it to anyone looking for something to believe in. You can find out about it here:\n\nBut remember one thing! Because the specifics of the religion are free to be defined by the individual practitioner, no two Wiccans (or Pagans for that matter) will ever agree on everything. I am an open book to any questions you might have if you'd like to contact me through my profile page, or you can find nonbiased information about Wicca here: http://www.religioustolerance.org/witchcra.htm

you don't have to do anything to become religious.  just have faith in whatever beliefs you choose.
