You have to think long term. All religious systems started at some time, and at that time, were typically counterculture and may have even been considered to be 'made up.' Some, of course, used ties to the older established culture to get going, but then went off from there. Others got co-opted and changed directions from the original revelation.
A thought: Though I have lived in the time of Elvis' death, and have been to Graceland, who knows what will be a thousand years from now in regards to "the King?"
Anyway, I've considered answering, "Tolkienite," but this may be wrongly thought to be "Trotskyite," which might not be a good thing. Also, by answering the former, I'm risking getting more spam from the Science Fiction Book club.
