No one starts a wildly successful religion without having a fairly high level of spiritual attainment, a somewhat reproducible method for passing the practices on to others, and an emotionally/mythically resonant way of explaining stuff.

Someone will inevitably say "but wasn't <such and such religious founder> an awful person, though?"
And this is when you know they have some hard lessons about spiritual attainment coming their way.
