Should someone tell the New Scientist that this religion already exists?

Cross-posted to Facebook Note: it seems ridiculous that academics talking about religion in the New Scientist invent a hypothetical one that's identical to one that already exists...

What form would the ideal religion take? Some might argue that instead of redesigning religion, we should get rid of it. But it is good for some things: religious

How on earth did they invent this as a 'new' religion? I consider myself relatively uninformed about different religions (certainly only as informed as your average member of the public) and even I know that this already exists as a religion. Silly people.
