NUMBER 1:
Worshippers of Satan can broadly be categorised as spiritualists for whom Satan is an actual deity and atheists for whom Satan is a figure symbolising crisis of faith, individualism and free will. Certain sects are notorious for their activities. Like the 'Beasts of Satan' committed murders in Italy between 1998-2004. The 'Order of Nine Angels' affirmed human sacrifice (1960s). The public practice began with the establishment of the Church of Satan in 1966.
NUMBER 2:
The constant increase in human population and a simultaneous decrease in morals and values led to the birth of this church whose sole commandment is " Thous shalt not procreate ". It identifies itself with slogans like " Eat a Queer Fetus for Jesus" . The Church asks one to " Save the Planet, Kill Yourself", however purely by choice. It became infamous after putting up the video "I Like To Watch" post 9/11. The video showed hardcore porn and the footage of 9/11 side-by-side.
NUMBER 3:
The Rastafari believe that the Ethiopian King Haile Selassie is the God of All. The aim of the religious movement is to restore pride in African identity which suffered because of the forces of colonialism. They proclaim Zion as the original birthplace of mankind and reject 'Babylon' or the world of materialism. Bob Marley is one famous Rastafari who followed the principles of Rastafarian lifestyle including ritual use of marijuana, avoiding alcohol and wearing one's hair in dreadlocks.
NUMBER 4:
Claude Vorilhon formed the religion in 1974 as a U.F.O. religion. Raëlians believe that a humanoid species of extraterrestrials, Elohim are responsible for the genesis of the human race. They believe that the Elohim misinformed humans that they were angels and that Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed and others are Prophets of Elohim. They believe that the Elohim will come back to meet us when we are peaceful and ready. They believe in awakening of the mind through awakening of the body. The usage of the Swastika as a religious symbol has caused the religious group some problems in Israel.
NUMBER 5:
Diego Maradona is a legend to say the least. His fans started a religion for him in the year 1998 and has more than a million followers in more than sixty countries. The supporters of the Maradonian Church count the years since the football legend Maradona's birth in 1960. T he use of the neo-Tetragrammaton, D10S as one of the names of Maradona is popular with this group. D10S is a portmanteau word which fuses 10 (diez in Spanish) which is Maradona's t-shirt number, and dios which is the Spanish word for God.
NUMBER 6:
Influenced by " Born in Zion,'' by Carol Balizet , t his group denounces the '' seven systems '' of mainstream society which include education, government, banking and religion. But also, medicine, science and entertainment. In 2002, the pastor of The Body of Christ sect -Robidoux and his wife Karen E. Robidoux, were charged with murder along with her husband for starving their child. They said that they were waiting for God's sign to feed the baby. This pseudo-Christian cult believes in the power of faith healing.
NUMBER 7:
Founded by Shoko Asahara in Japan (1984) who claimed to be "the lamb of God". He claimed that he could cleanse his followers of all sins and help them survive the End of the world-a nuclear Armageddon of which the USA would be the harbinger. The usage of literature like Assimov's 'Foundation' trilogy and Nostradamus's writings can be seen in the doctrines. The group was labelled a terrorist organisation after it perpetuated the Tokyo subway sarin attack which led to the death of twelve and injuring thousands.
