Consider the following scenario. A given work of fiction becomes successful after its release. Very, very, ''very'' successful. So successful, in fact, that it manages to achieve what only a very small number of works throughout history have done: spawned its own religion. |

Examples thought of so far include: |

* '''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhiism]]:''' The world should be made as interesting as possible, lest it be judged for destruction. Thus, by the grace of [[Reality Warper|Haruhi Suzumiya]], one must choose to liberate oneself from the sin of mediocrity and be saved from the hell of boredom.

Bunny outfits are traditional garb for priestesses. |
