Ja!  I don't see why I couldn't declare myself a religion.  I worship me.  I
am a regular god of wisdom, a fountain of hilarity.  Having the UN declare
the law would make it binding on all member nations.

Good work on that, Keith.  Can we declare you a religion?  I can imagine a
certain existing religion that would be worried bigtime.

Speaking of which, what happens under such rules when two similar competing
religions criticize each other?  A shining example is not hard to imagine.
