    OK ... here's a hint ...
    the fictional quasi religion might be found in the name of one of his other books (not The Abyss)

    It's not "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" is it? Cos that sounds real.

    I may be on to the wrong author!

    This is a tough one. I think I found the right author and googled a list of his books* still don't see one that looks likes it's about a fictional religion...

    *to satisfy my own curiosity, not to cheat in the quiz.

    I think a couple of his books mentioned the Old Testament so I'll guess Kabbalah, seeing as I think that's vaugely related and mildly fictional...

    OK ... my question.

    What fictional quasi religious denomination is the man who wrote the book of the film of The Abyss (not the screenplay) associated with ?

    I borked Google when I tested this :D

    would "man who wrote" not denote the author??? :confused:

    Does that mean someone's already guessed it or it was mentioned in another question?

    OK ... I'm outta here in 20 minutes.

    If at least four people "give in" ... I'll post the answer at 16:30 :rolleyes:

    Mebbe I wasn't clear enough with the question.

    There is a man.
    He wrote the book of the movie "The Abyss".
    He may well belong to a particular religion In Real Life. *this is not the question*
    What fictional quasi religious doctrine in the universe of his books is he associated with ?
    Hint : The answer is the title of one of his books ... perhaps the best & most famous of his books.

    And? :confused: What religion is the man who wrote the book associated with is essentially what the sentence means.
