Gaining a following for religious reformation

The natural sciences are relatively concrete fields of study, and the social sciences are considered abstract relative to these. But religion is even more abstract than the social sciences. So religion is very abstract. And therefore problems with religion are very difficult to identify.

But even though the operation of religion is so abstract,  the problems of a religion must manifest themselves in concrete ways, because that is what makes a problem a problem.

So in identifying problems of a religion for the purpose of reforming it, you must first think concretely. That is, you must think in terms of the senses. What primal need is your religion failing to satisfy for you, whether it is food, shelter, or sex. And then try to fix the problem in the most obvious, direct, and concrete way, and when you fail, think about what it is that stopped you succeeding, and recognize that thing as also being a problem in itself. Eventually you will come up with a list of problems, which you cannot resolve them all by confronting them directly, so you must search for the solution on a more abstract level.

For confronting abstract problems, it is easier to gain the support of a larger number of people, because abstract problems tend to manifest themselves in very general ways, and end up harming a large number of people.

So once you identify the abstract problems with your religion, gaining a broad following become much easier, because by confronting the abstract problems you will be benefiting a diverse range of people who are not necessarily exactly like you.

It's worth looking at a successful reformation for ideas.  And the Christian Reformation is the obvious choice.  Think about what made the Christian Reformation successful.

The reformation basically took an apostate position which allowed people to ignore the Roman Church without religious consequences. Initially this appealed to rich and powerful people who otherwise had no reason to listen to the Church while placating the masses who wanted to go on being Christian. Later it catered to people who wanted to indulge their ridiculous fantasies and call whatever they were doing Christianity. I'm not sure this can be fit in with the modern situation.

If this is your position then why aren't you attending a Catholic church?  All Anabaptist and Protestant sects are a product of the Reformation.

The Catholic and Orthodox Churches are also corrupt. The idea would be to get back to what the early church was doing and start from scratch. Obviously the Anabaptism is theologically silly.
