They're making a religion based off Twilight.

Followers believe:

1. Edward Cullen and the rest of his family are actually real.
2. Stephenie Meyer is the (or one of the) best author/s ever.
3. The Twilight series deserves to be worshipped.
4. If you're good in life, you will be blessed with eternity with the Cullen family but if you're bad in life then you'll be sent to James' cave.
5. Cullenist must visit the town of Forks in Washington where the books are based at least once in their lifetime.
6. The books should be treated like a bible, reading a little every day.

Really? Do people actually believe this? Will this eventually turn into a real religion?

(Try not to turn this topic into a religious debate.)

I don't want to live in a country where that's the main religion. 0.<

Why do you guys care? People who love Twilight should just be let alone and not hated. Not that i love Twilight.

I hate people who disgrace the word "book."

I hope it does become a real religion. I hope it grows to power as well. That way, the Catholic Church will have to move in and 'assimilate' the believers.

I do think the whole religion things is a bit wild, but some people don't really appreciate people's opinions on Twilight. They need to try to be kinder and not say things such as "Twilight is stupid. Watch/read something else."

yeah and actually read the books before jumping to conclusions

The books looked good, so I read them. And they stunk. BIG TIME. I didn't even try for the movies, I knew it would just be awful.

Well, considering fanaticism over things emerging in pop pulture, my first reaction to this is that 'Cullenism' is most likely a fan-based joke to be poked fun at rather than something to be taken seriously. In the same Wikibin article you linked to, it also states this:

The introduction of Cullenism as a religion has got many people laughing at and criticising the idea. The majority of people on the internet, even twiight fans, seem to believe that this is taking the love of twilight too far. They insist that it is ridiculous to create a religion based on fictional characters and that Cullenism could even be dangerous as a cult set up over the internet. However, with the majority of members being teenage girls, that point does seem a little difficult to believe.

The members of this new found religion insist that they are only doing this to show just how much they adore the Twilight series and the characters in them. They say that all of the beliefs are important to them, although some may mean more to some members than others. They also say that there is no limit to the beliefs of the Cullenism religion and as a welcoming and caring group of people they welcome any other beliefs twilight fans may suggest.

Such overly-done fanaticism is not limited to Twilight alone. I've seen it done elsewhere, with the intent of it not being a real religion, but to be sort of a way for fans to unite for their favorite show, sport team, book, etc.

(At the same time, though, one does have to acknowledge that any form of fanaticism can go way too far).
