Raëlism is a very unique Religion, with its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, said in 2007 to have about 2,300 followers. This religion is what is known as a 'UFO religion'; in short, it preaches the existence of Extraterrestrials. The Raëlian teaches that life was scientifically created by these aliens called Elohim, and that when making contact with the humans that they created (or their descendants) they were mistaken to be angels, of gods. A few of the supposed prophets of Elohim are Jesus and the Buddha. The founder of this odd new religion, Claude Vorilhon, is said to have received the Elohim’s last message, saying that they told him to pacify, and inform the world about the Elohim.In order to become a Raëlist, one must undergo an initiation, which involves a baptism, which is performed by a guide member. It is believed that the new member's genetic code is recorded in a computer, and will be recognised in their last hour when we will be judged by these mysterious 'dark-skinned' aliens.
There are many different levels of seniority in Raëlism, going from the Level 0 trainee, to Level 6 Planetary Guide. It seems to be a very liberal Religion, and advocates pacifism and love of everyone, no matter who they are. Obviously, as to be expected, I have only scratched the surface of this interesting new religion, and although the founder does look like he might try to sexually assault you at any moment, he seems to be a nice enough man. This religion holds some very good moral values, even if its grounds are a bit questionable, so if you're even the slightest bit interested, and want to learn more, I encourage you to visit their website.
