There is is a goddess of irvine temple, where men are forbidden except on the fourth Sunday every month. Ironically, Irvine has a reputation for being full of boring, and materialistic people with more money than common sense. The website is hillarious. Come sisters to our museum where we have statues owned by the Dalai lama, and learn the true history of the world that the patriarchy has buried! Pledge $200 a month of support for for the highest rank!

>Religion being used to scam gullible idiots out of money

>Pandering to an "us vs them" mentality

>Making a legit card carrying religion based around feminism rather than letting it just act like a religion

Apex kek.

Religion being used to scam gullible idiots out of money?

They were scamming people out of chickens before money was invented.

Because the website adds that all of society's problems are because the patriarchy has upset the natural order through trickery. When queens rule again everything will be fixed. Here are some negative reviews on yelp.

They have a little bit of self awareness.

So just like any other feminists.

"Wildly transphobic. How can a place that claims to elevate women put down other sisters (when trans women need the most support in a world where they're more likely to be killed than cis women)? Their gender rules are archaic, and it drives away people in the area who would otherwise attend services. They really need to rethink their gender essentialism based on genitals."

Well, at least they have enough sense to call bullshit on trannies.

>(when trans women need the most support in a world where they're more likely to be killed than cis women)

The reason they are killed more than cis women is because people see them as a weird man, not a woman.

Not just that.. most of them are drug addicted prostitutes. Lot's of way to get murdered when you combine those two ways of life.

It says this new religion is popular with white middle-upper class urbanites.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddess_movement

New age religion have earlier roots in the religion of certain upper class members in the Renaissance.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_occultism

Scientology targeted the rich, while Christianity and Santa Muerte began with the poor. This raises the question, "How does class affect the way a new religion develops?"

For instance, would a religion started by the upper-class be more sophisticated, more philosophical, and more self-serving? Would it support elitism and traditions that favored the ruling class?

Would a religion developed by peasents rely on simpler Gods and taboos? Would it be loaded with stories of miracles, and focus entirely on survival?
