Raelism is the belief system promoted by the Raelian Movement, a religious organization which believes that scientifically advanced extraterrestrials known as the Elohim (derived from a Hebrew word appearing in the Torah) created life on Earth through genetic engineering, and that a combination of human cloning and "mind transfer" can ultimately provide immortality.
Claude Vorilhon (born 1946), also known as Rael, was an aspiring entertainer and performer who had produced a short-lived automobile racing magazine entitled Auto Pop, before he allegedly received a vision from the celestial Elohim on December 13, 1973 in the crater of a volcano near Clermont-Ferrand in central France.
Raelism can also be seen as a philosophical system in competition with other major religions.

Whole-body transplant is similar in some ways to the idea of downloading consciousness promoted by Marvin Minsky and others with a mechanistic view of natural intelligence and an optimistic outlook regarding artificial intelligence.
It is also a goal of Raelism, a small religion based in Florida, France, and Quebec.
However, while the 'downloaders' see the ultimate receptacle of the human brain as a repairable manufactured body made by robotics, the 'transplanters' see the ultimate receptable as a new body optimized for that brain by genetics and maybe proteomics.

Vorilhon claims he was contacted by UFO's on December 13, 1973 when his extraterrestrial visitors named him "Rael." During this time of supposed contact, the alien life forms told "Rael" that mankind was ready to learn the truth of the mysteries of man's origin.
Raelism claims "The Elohim" have stated their need for an embassy large enough to house 144,000 people where they can "interact with the human race intimately." They are also said to have expressed their desire to have the embassy located in Jerusalem.

It's a religion based on the concept that the human race was colonized by the clones of an alien race.
It is an attention grabbing subject, but only tends to appease the minds of those who want to believe, and not to those who take into consideration that there is no real truth about the religion that can be proved.

What I think might be the case is that the idea of Raelism might continue with the 'freedoms' stuff, which would eventually fizzle away from 'religion', and take its' own path - much the same I suppose as Christianity and 'love thy neighbour'.
If you *think* you don't know what you believe then you are ripe for allowing others to impose their beliefs on you, giving you the belief that you believe what they believe.
Unfortunately, Raelism falls into the category of organised religion, and while some, or even most, of their concepts and beliefs might be shared by yourself, you shouldn't restrict yourself to saying "I'm a Raelian, therefore I think x, y and z".
