At a party in the early 1950s, before Scientology become Hubbard's main focus, Hubbard was overheard saying, "Religion is where the money is." That was the birth of the biggest business every to be disguised as a modern religion. It's seems to me Greer is going down the same road.
In all the time I have spent listening to Greer, I have never had the impression that Greer is starting a religion. I should add that I am quite attuned to recognizing religious propaganda.
Is Greer a man in relentless pursuit of proof or a master salesman? He is a salesman. He may have an interest in UFOs and ETs, but this is a business for Greer. He has learned ways to extort money from the government and from private citizens.
Business is not necessarily the same as religion.
But since we like attacking the messenger and ignoring the message, here's what the author of your article says about himself:

I believe Mr McKean was alluding more to Dr Greer's profiting from fraud than starting a religion!
Published on May 4, 2013 The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race will attempt to accomplish what the Congress has failed to do for forty-five years - seek out the facts surrounding the most important issue of this or any other time.
For this reason the motto for the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure is "If the Congress will not do its job, the people will."
This event will be live streamed to the world via the Internet in at least four and possibly five languages. Furthermore, the entire hearing will be filmed as the basis for a forthcoming documentary - Truth Embargo.
The title of this film is fitting as the goal of the Citizen Hearing is nothing less than the end of the extraterrestrial truth embargo this year. The world's people have waited long enough.
USAF Col. Richard French admits that his primary job was to debunk the fact UFOs were visiting Earth. He gave examples of landings and the things he would use to prove them false such as swamp gas at this hearing in Washington DC.

Steven Greer: Citizen Hearing On Disclosure 2013 HD
Thanks, Mags! I look forward to investigating further Greer's message, which continues to maintain the integrity I am used to seeing from Greer. There is no doubt that anyone leading this kind of disclosure will be the subject of malicious efforts to discredit, undermine, distort, corrupt, and destroy both the message and the messenger. Any criticisms, however, cannot be dismissed simply because they are expected. They can only be dismissed with good reason, and in fact do not have to be dismissed at all given a healthy understanding of uncertainty. Greer's motivations and character flaws should be examined and questioned, just as the message itself should be examined and questioned, but once again, certainty is not the goal. Understanding is the goal. My understanding is that Greer is on the right track and is doing some good work that is consistent with his history. I'm happy to abandon that understanding if it turns out to be wrong.
We shall see.
