These days anything can qualify as a religion — even indulging in sadomasochistic perversion. Introducing House Blue Flames:

House Blue Flames is a protocol-driven environment for the serious practice of the Master-slave dynamic based on authority transfer.

It defines itself as “a leather culture house” — and as a religion:

House Blue Flames became an unincorporated and chartered Faith-Based Organization (FBO) under 26 U.S. Code § 508 (c)(1)(A) and § 6033 (3)(A)(i), totally tax exempt under the 26 U.S. Code in August 2022.

If everything is a valid religion, then nothing is a valid religion. That could be the point.
