The Raelian Movement is the founder of the Clonaid company which claims to have produced the first cloned baby.
The movement claims to have about 40,000 members in several countries, although the number is difficult to verify.
The sect, which believes humans were created by extra-terrestrial beings who had mastered genetic engineering, was founded in France in 1973 by a former journalist who worked for a racing car magazine.
From the Raelian Movement Website:
On the 13th of December 1973, French journalist Rael was contacted by a visitor from another planet, and asked to establish an Embassy to welcome these people back to Earth.
The extra-terrestrial human being was a little over four feet tall, had long dark hair, almond shaped eyes, olive skin, and exuded harmony and humor. Rael recently described him by saying quite simply, "If he were to walk down a street in Japan, he would not even be noticed." In other words, they look like us, and we look like them. In fact, we were created "in their image" as explained in the Bible.
He told Rael that:
"We were the ones who designed all life on earth"
"You mistook us for gods"
"We were at the origin of your main religions"
"Now that you are mature enough to understand this,we would like to enter official contact through an embassy"

Prior to Clonaid, most media coverage of the Raëlians focused on the group's sexual beliefs and practices. While the Raëlians contend that they are wrongly presented in the press as a "sex cult," they seem to simultaneously invite and dismiss the reputation. In an interview with the Ottawa Citizen, Raël denies that the group is centered on eroticism, then boasts that a 65-year-old Catholic nun "discovered sexual pleasure in her tent with a boyfriend" at a Raëlian retreat. Raël also enjoys posing for photographs with his nubile, topless disciples. The group's literature features pictures of nude women who appear to be in the midst of ogasmic throes.
Raël details the origins of his free-love philosophy in his book. After meeting his fellow prophets on the Elohim Planet, a robot showed Raël to his room and asked him if he wanted a female companion. When Raël answered in the affirmative, he was presented with a beautiful, brunet, biological sex robot. Then a blonde appeared, followed by a redhead, a "magnificent black woman," a "very fine, slender Chinese female," and finally another Asian woman, this one voluptuous. Because Raël could not decide which of the beautiful robots to bed, the Elohim allowed him to take all six. "I had the most unforgettable bath that I had ever had in the company of those charming robots, totally submissive to all my desires," recalls Raël.
Raël foresees a day when all humans will be able to have sex with robots. "Of course, the feminists will not like it," says Raël. "But nobody has any feelings against using a washing machine or a dishwasher." Raël says that while there is much sex among the movement's members, freedom of sexuality also includes the freedom not to have sex.
Raëlians are programmed not to be jealous. They are taught that, if they are truly happy with themselves, they will want their partner to be happy, and if happiness means the partner must sleep around, the partner should be allowed to do so.
While Raël copulates with many of his female followers, the ewes in his flock are not required to perform sex acts on their messiah. "I am getting old," says Raël. "I am less attractive than before. I'm 54 now. There are a lot of young men in the movement who are very beautiful."
Every July, hundreds of Raëlians meet in Quebec, where the group owns land. The gathering puts Raël's free-love theories into practice. "It is a one-week seminar," says Raël. "We teach everything about the Message and being happy. There is a 24-hour fast to cleanse the body and the mind, a lot of parties, many shows and people just happy together. There are a lot of beautiful women naked. The rest of the time, people enjoy swimming in the lake."
The classes include sensual massage and coed painting sessions, where devotees rub paint on each other's naked bodies. Between teachings, the Raëlians play nude volleyball.
"I was in an exclusive relationship when I became a Raëlian," says Florence, a Frenchwoman who presently resides in San Francisco. "I started a new life. I was not the same Florence that I had been even a few months earlier, and then I discovered I was bisexual."
On the Canadian property, Raël's condo is connected to UFOland. The small theme park is basically a building that houses a replica of the spaceship that transported Raël (which some members insist is a working model) and a 26-foot sculpture of the human DNA structure.
Raël moved from his native France to Quebec to escape what he says is religious persecution at the hands of the French government. "They try to make rumors about pedophilia, which we are against. We are for sexual freedom for adults only. Any time you are in favor of sexual freedom, people try to say you favor pedophilia."
While Raël opposes pedophilia, ten years ago he married the 16-year-old daughter of one of his disciples. "She was less than 18 when I met her, and I did not want to go to jail; so we got married," says Rael. "When she reached the legal age, we divorced, because we are against marriage."
Married or not, the couple enjoys an open relationship. Or, at least, Raël enjoys the relationship's openness. "She is not a very sexual person; so she is very happy if I can find what she does not enjoy so much with other people. She's happy with once a week, and I need more; so I find it somewhere else."
Although Raëlians believe that the human race was created on April 1, the Raëlian calendar begins on August 6, 1945, the day that the United States bombed Hiroshima. According to the Raëlians, the event brought about the Age of Apocalypse. (source-Hustler Magazine/January 2002, Dan Kapelovitz. Full article --HERE--)
