this seems to be a pleonasm: aren't all religions based on fiction (in opposition to scientific)?

I'm thinking it means religions in fiction, or religions whose existence is fictional - altho' the latter always seems to be a temporary category; put a new religion in a novel and sure enough someone somewhere will start practicing it, going so far as to say that the religion had always existed, and that the work's author merely "rediscovered" it. Cases in point are the worshippers of J.R.R. Tolkien's Valar and those who claim that the Necronomicon in H.P. Lovecraft's books is the real deal. SigPig 17:17, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
