***Let’s take a science fiction book and make a religion.***

Didn’t college students do that back when Robert A. Heinlein’s STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND was popular?

And the Church of... something or other is still around.

Just saw an article about the chief Druid or whatever the other day.

(As you can tell it made a real impression on me.)

I don't think many actually did. Though, I recall seeing something about RAH putting in a security system with gate and intercom, to keep the obnoxious at bay.

(Wm. Patterson's biography of Heinlein is worth the read.)
