Get a ton of followers then get tax exempt status.

I'm not really worried about taxes... But I suppose that I may need followers/believers to have it officialized, regardless. Or something. The problem is how to make it available to a decent-sized audience.

Start a cult first, Nikkou, that's generally easier to accomplish. Then when you have followers, turn it into a religion :O

Claim to have the solution to life, the universe and everything and demand millions for it. Claim anyone who disagrees is obviously evil.

Hey, it appears to have worked for L. Ron Hubbard.

But it's not like any of those. XD There aren't going to be any books to read, commandments to follow, or buildings to gather at. It's just a few ideas that I'd like to spread to see what happens. I just need something to make it presentable, accessible and not too hard to find once word of mouth gets going.

You might be looking ot make more of a philosophy than a religion in that case Nikkou. If I recall, technically Confusionism isn't a religion but a philosophy.

The best way to spread your doctrine is Youtube.

Musashi:

Oh, nothing special... Just a different angle on Judaism/Christianity.

Raleigh:

Well, it has the potential to become a religion despite that. There's a difference between religion and organized religion, right? This one just won't be organized... If I have anything to say about it, anyway.

Nylena:

I have not the tools to make videos, and what I need is a way to "advertise" a single web page where a bunch of people can come across it.

Edit the MSF front page? I dunno. There are a lot of guests coming around here lately. Or it might be the same ones, I dunno. I dunno a lot.
