Note that the Creators have indicated by email (source: email exchange with the creators) that Bree's religion, to the extent that it is a religion, is not a real world religion but rather a ficticious creation that draws from a number of influences. To the extent that real world religions are referred to in this section it should be solely for the purpose of showing what influence was drawn from the groups. Certain religions may take offense by elements of the LG15 story line so please approach this subject with that in mind.
Bree's religion has never been directly stated in the series, although many believe her to be a member of a Thelemic religion of some sort or Argenteum Astrum, as a picture of Aleister Crowley is prominently featured in her bedroom. Moreover, the word Thelema is written in Greek (Θέλημα) at the bottom of the page at lonelygirl15.com. However, Darbyite Designs also appears at the bottom of the page, a reference to the Plymouth Brethren. Crowley was raised in the Plymouth Brethren sect. Both of these references then might not be references to her religion, but to Crowley instead.
Bree spent a long time preparing to undergo a ritual ceremony related to her religion. In The Ceremony Is Tomorrow :) Bree tells us that the ceremony will take place on October 12, 2006 which is also Aleister Crowley's birthday.
In Daniel, Be Careful... Bree talks about the importance of the secret nature of her religion. Aleister Crowley also talks about secrecy, but the very word "occult" comes from the latin "occultus" meaning "things secret or hidden". It is often used in the medical field, such as "occult bleeding", which would mean bleeding that is not obvious to the naked eye.
In I'm Hiding Out, Daniel described Bree's religion as a cult.
In Learning Egyptian, Gemma claims that Bree's religion is not a Thelemic religion at all but a Secret Society called The Order. The common occurrence of blood rituals in necromancy may also give us a clue.
There have been frequent references to The Occult in Bree's videos.
