Necessary components for a successful religious text

What are they?

Starting off i'd say one of the most important is age.
The longer some shit's been around, the more credence ppl are going to give it, and the more time ppl will spend talking about how its totally fake.

Also...

A creation myth (where we came from)

At least one god (someone to pray to, praise when things go right, say has been disappointed when things go wrong)

Rules (what the text writers want ppl to do/how they want them to behave)

An afterlife (where ppl go if they follow the rules)

A bad afterlife (where ppl go if they dont follow the rules)

A common enemy (someone to unite against)

Obviously i'm missing some, didnt elaborate enough, or got some different from how you'd explain them.
So, go:

I don't think you have to have a Hell. The Karma scenario seems to be compelling to some.

I'm not a believer in the afterlife so I prefer justice on this plane of exicstence personally.

Transcendent ideals aren't always religious

A good/successful religion needs one regardless.

The circle of life is the GOAT of religious doctrines and isn't remotely transcendent.

I'd say a big part of success as far as religion is gathering followers.

quote:

1. Christianity 2.3 billion
2. Islam 1.8 billion
3. Unaffiliated 1.2 billion
4. Hinduism 1.1 billion
5. Buddhism 500 million
6. Folk religions 400 million
7. Other religions 100 million
8. Judaism 10 million

NOTE: Numbers from 2015 via the Pew Research Center


Here's a link that breaks it down by poulation, too long to copy/paste:
http://www.worldstopmost.com/2017-2...t-growing-list/

There's definitely a monopoly by a select few religions.
Those have heavens/hell, even Hiduism.

I'd rather focus on the actual subject i asked about and not circular conversation/Youtube links or whatever rocadong is going with,

but

this is the internet so not holding my breath.

^^^ The best religions are those without specific gods to worship

That source seems pretty sketchy

"Christianity is the oldest and the most popular religion on this planet. It was founded by Jesus Christ in somewhere around 27 AD. Christianity is also the oldest Abrahamic Religion."

Also IIRC Islam is the fastest growing religion unfortunately.
