Fuck no. A religion dictates:

what you think to be true or false. I'm a human thus an ignorant; there's no fucking way that I'd establish a system of beliefs that would be completely true. And the very fact that people would sheepishly look at my religion and say "its chrue cuz our faith says so lol" makes it counter-productive.
what you judge as good or bad. Except that my moral values might not hold so well across the time. Worse - once you gather a thousand people, most of them braindead muppets, some will care about the letter of those moral rules instead of the spirit.
what you do or don't. I'd be effectively removing agency from the people who follow my religion, telling them what they should be doing, be it on rituals or whatever.
