Well I don't know that "we" need to start a cult. (Mind you, The Elucidated Brethren of Caol Ila perhaps?)

However, those who really believe that secular values need to displace religious ones in society certainly need to think about what that means institutionally and critically how that framework likely cannot be provided by the state and as such will have to actually, attract and "provide value" to people.

Ooooh, I'd join that.  Except... um, can a woman join a brethren?  The Elucidated Siblinghood just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Communion should be fun in the new religion.  ;-)

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Don't have priests, in the Catholic Church they hand out wafers and keep the drink for themselves.
