The cult is an obvious scam, intended to gain money by brainwashing its followers into paying large sums of money, parodying real-life cults in the late 20th century. In Formage's own words, it is "''a fellowship of like-minded adults who tithe money in exchange for salvation and merit badges''". The cult seems to be a parody of [[:wp:Scientology|Scientology]], which is followed by Hollywood celebrities, and is likely to be a central theme to [[Vinewood]] celebrities in [[GTA V]].

The Epsilon Program also exists in the [[GTA IV Era]]. It is referenced on the [[Radio Stations in GTA IV|radio]] and [[Internet in GTA IV|Internet]]. [[Brendan Roberts]] may be a member of the cult. This may be a reference to Tom Cruise's religion being Scientology, as Roberts is speculated to be based on Cruise.

In July 2012, Rockstar created the [http://twitter.com/EpsilonismToday EpsilonismToday] twitter account. This suggests the cult continues in [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]], but it's not known whether this will play a major part in the storyline. Recently, the real religion of Scientology has caused controversies in the media, and it's famously practiced by Hollywood stars in LA - so Epsilonism is likely to be a central theme to the celebrity lifestyle in [[Vinewood]].
