Widely rumored, but never really proven.

In the beginning, he insisted that it was NOT a religion, and there was
NOTHING religious about it.
Later, he discovered the enormous tax advantages that religions enjoy.
Then came a memo where he told the folks that they shouldn't worry about the
big change, it was only a matter for tax accountants and lawyers..

It's amazing how easily a "religion" can get away with murder.
