The "your own planet" thing isn't a huge selling point that you'd want to lead with?

Ha! I'd never thought of it like that! :3 Unfortunately, I have a problem with the idea of "selling" a religion. Just because you like an idea doesn't mean it's true...

Besides, the types of person who bother saying "You get your own planet?" instead of "You're religious?" usually views getting your own planet as The Ultimate Sacrilege, so it's not the best selling point, no. :/
