Founder and Minister:

 Reverend J.B. Stran

    

Focus

 The foundation of the Universal Truth religion is based on the individual’s right to worship in solitude, free of social pressure and judgement.
  Unlike nearly all organized religions, the Universal Truth religion welcomes and caters to the Introvert, primary among these, 
  the Prisoner; the Outcast; the Homeless. Your humble founder and spiritual leader has been all three of these.

  

 The Universal Truth that you seek is this: 

          Wherever you are; whoever you are, so there is God.

The God that you seek has never written any books.
 The God that you seek neither recognizes nor requires your money.
  The God that you seek does not hold nor require any earthly real estate.
   The God that you seek does not employ fear tactics for the purpose of extorting goodness from you.

The God that you seek requires only that reach your full potential, both as an individual spirit and as a connection point for the billions of other individual seekers.
