Mix science into it.

Like scientology.

Yes I am certainly planning to use the scientific method and to deeply research the existing literature in planning out my overall brainwashing framework. I may even get the opportunity to exploit some of my followers in controlled experiments. I don't know how much I really want to encourage my flock to embrace science, given that my plan requires I be worshiped as a prophet and a god. But I will definitely use some scientific-sounding multisyllabic words in my speeches and writings.

Srs research more. As many religious/philosophical/scientific sources as possible, it helps to better create a narrative that anyone can have stored evidence that they considered 'verified' in their head that corroborates what you 'teach'. And in that regard, know your audience. Do you ever leave the house, Op? How do you seek to obtain a flock, or did you come here looking for a spell on that? I'd suggest joining a new-age church and becoming more involved in your community. Volunteer at your local homeless shelter. The hardest part is easily networking, people aren't exactly seeking religion nowadays, Op.

the problem is you're not deluded and living in a fantasy world where you believe you're god on earth.

Take a big note from Aum Shinrikyo.
You need to find/create a reason for people to join, most people joined Aum because following WW2 there was a spiritual vacuum left by the war and the Japanese surrender so many tried to put their faith elsewhere. Go to a country in times of stress of create a situation/find something small play it up big and make people think they need you.

Why don't you make a cult feeding off of Scientism, OP? There are plenty of armchair atheists and the sort out there that have let the concept of science essentially become a deity and dogma for them, ironically. They let evolution and "what is natural" act as a moral compass for them, and they let science feed them their philosophy, or they let science and "le pure logic" simply become their philosophy

A whole group of weak-minded individuals who consider themselves the smart ones, ripe for the picking

I will commission Richard Dawkins, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Stephen Hawking and Bill Nye to write the four gospels of my new holy book, where I will star as the messiah figure.

Perfect, perfect
Just remember to ease them into it so you can bypass that trademarked Skepticism™ they're so keen on thinking they have
