“…This idea sharing can help to spread material with mythical potential, and feed a passionate obsession with popular cultural texts. For example, in regard to Lord of the Rings religion, Davidsen notes that there was a dramatic increase in adherence to these groups after the Peter Jackson film trilogy was released ( [79], p. 186). The Lord of the Rings fandom is prolific, and has catapulted interest in these texts far beyond the reach of pre-internet communities.…”

“…It has also brought together likeminded devotees who are separated by previously problematic physical distance. Interestingly, Davidsen does note some suspicion felt between those who are influenced by the original books and those who have come to the faith via the movies ( [79], p. 186). The latter-generation Tolkien religious groups, emerging after the release of the films, have been seen to have a far greater focus on attributing historicity and intrinsic reality to the Tolkien texts ( [79], p. 198).…”

“…31 Ardından Carole M. Cusack bilinçli bir biçimde oluşturuldukları için 'icat edilmiş din' (invented religion) terimini kullanmış; 32 Scott Simpson temel amaçlarının insanları eğlendirmek olduğunu belirterek bu dinleri 'şaka din' (joke religion) olarak tanımlamış; 33 Markus Altena Davidsen ise 'kurgu temelli din' (fiction-based religion) teriminin bu dinler için kullanılabilecek en doğru terim olduğunu iddia etmiştir. 34 Cusack'ın 2010'da yayımladığı İcat Edilmiş Dinler (Invented Religions) adlı kitabında Jediizm ve Matrixizm (İçeriği, Larry ve Andy Wachowski'nin Matrix film serisine dayanan bir din) ile birlikte ele aldığı USCK, Lionel Obadia tarafından ise internetin sanal dünyasında ortaya çıktığı için 'dijital din' (digital religion) olarak tanımlanmıştır. 35 Görüldüğü üzere belirli bir kurgu üzerinden oluşturulan yeni dinlerin adlandırılması konusunda net bir fikir birliği yoktur.…”

“…LaVey udlaegger i The Satanic Rituals, hvordan man kan anråbe Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep og andre af Lovecrafts monsterguder (LaVey 1972, 173-201), og kaosmagikere haevder at blive besat af disse guder, samtidig med at de dog understreger gudernes fi ktivitet (Hanegraaff 2007, 105). Jeg har selv undersøgt en raekke grupper, hvis fi ktionsbaserede religion tager udgangspunkt i J. R. R. Tolkiens klassiske fantasyvaerker (Davidsen 2011). En gruppe, Ilsaluntë Valion (Valarnes Sølvskib), er funderet på den ide, at de guddommelige vaesner fra Tolkiens legendarium, navnligt valarne, eksisterer på det imaginale 3 (ikke imaginaere) plan, og at man gennem guidet meditation og visualisering kan rejse dertil og kommunikere med dem.…”
