The documentation Rael’s women, available on TOU.TV, spotlights the (much) criticized Raelian movement founded by Frenchman Claude Vorilhon. Here is a six-point return to this ideology that is still being talked about today, 49 years after its creation.

1- It is a sect
Originally called MADECH (Movement to receive the Elohim).[s] Creator of mankind), the Raelian movement is in fact a sectarian group recognized as such by various governments, including France, where the group has been labeled a dangerous sect.
This “atheist religion” was founded in France in 1974 by Frenchman Claude Vorilhon, aka Raël, journalist, racing driver and failed singer. He hammers on supposedly having met Elohims, very advanced aliens on a technological and scientific level who would have created humans.

The cult briefly settled in Quebec in 1992. The self-proclaimed prophet now lives in exile in Japan and the movement’s headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland.
2- His mission: to welcome the Elohim
“Another major task of our organization is to draft an official message to witness the return of our creators,” the cult’s website reads.
The Elohim, through their messenger Rael, have “respectfully expressed their desire” to return to Earth to meet with us and to request “special diplomatic status.”

The Havana Resort campsite, which was the site of the Raëlian UFOland at Maricourt in the Eastern Townships, sells several artifacts belonging to the sect. In particular, Raël’s flying saucer, posters and models.
Raël has also made several applications to various governments, particularly in Canada, to have said embassy built there, but all have been rejected.
3- Supports cloning
In this movement we believe in the benefits of cloning and support the Clonaid company, founded by Brigitte Boisselier, a chemist by training and Bishop of the Raelians.
The latter announced the birth of the first cloned baby named Eve in 2002. However, due to a lack of evidence, several sympathizers of the sectarian group left the boat, believing they had been cheated. To this day, no evidence of the existence of Eve, whether born by cloning or not, has been published.
4- Present in 120 countries
Rael’s sect has come a long way since its inception. It is now present in 120 countries and has around 100,000 members.
It is said that Rael, “the last of the messengers”, would receive no salary from the church. However, according to Sylvie Chabot, one of the ex-Raëliennes who testifies in the documentary Les femmes de Raël, each member must give at least 10% of their income to the sect.
5- Exploited women
The Raelians do not hide it: sex is part of their mores, while sexual freedom is encouraged.
“Sex was very encouraged. They were still encouraged to follow our attractions, even though we were a couple,” explains Sylvie Chabot.
Raël would have an almost complete grip on the female members of the sect, exploiting them through free love and swinging.
He also founded a sect within the sect, the Order of Angels, which brings together the most beautiful women in the group. Many of them work in the sex industry while the money they earn goes to the cult’s coffers.
6- A lot of famous “honorary guides”
Although not Raelians themselves, several well-known figures have over time earned the title of “Honorary Leader”, bestowed on people who “devote their lives to changing the world by reducing violence, denouncing injustice and eliminating the taboos associated with it God or by promoting human rights.

The founder of the social network Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, is one of the many “honorary leaders” of the Raelian sect.
Among them are Madonna, Michael Jackson, George Michael, Eminem, Bill Gates, Hugh Hefner, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and various conspiracy figures mobilized by COVID-19 and vaccines.
