The Epsilon Program is a fictional cult which, for legal reasons, is absolutely nothing like Scientology, first appearing as a teaser site for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, mentioned frequently on the radio from that game onwards, leading on to a series of Epsilon missions for Michael in GTA V. The cult unlike Scientology, an actual religion is clearly a scam, brainwashing potential recruits into handing over all their money in order to achieve some kind of spiritual enlightenment before the end of the world again, totally unlike Scientology, for sure. A fellowship of like-minded adults who tithe money in exchange for salvation and merit badges whilst worshipping the deity Kifflom, you help The Epsilon Sect by gathering ten tracts for. According to the Rockstar Social Club, however, there's fifteen tracts to find in all suggesting that The Epilson Program might become a bigger deal in an upcoming DLC or something. Or perhaps that stuff's already in the game, with Epilson acting like the GTA equivalent of the Illuminati. There are a bunch of structures around San Andreas which form the shape of an eye, referencing the All Seeing Eye, as well as fair shair Pyramids. The Epsilon sect has their symbol on the San Andreas state symbol, much like the Illuminati do on US currency. What does all of this add up to? Possibly squat. Who knows?
