"Invisible authority" is like jumbo shrimp or a sanitary landfill. Makes sense as a term of art but not so much on it's own. People may hold beliefs about hidden string pullers but the string pullers are not the authorities...they're explicitly contended to be the thing behind them...hiding... and holding such beliefs doesn't qualify as a religion in the first place. If you want to talk about religion you'll have to tell me about beliefs and practices you plan to put into action, about things set apart and forbidden, about a moral community that seeks to make the world the way it ought to be by the lights of the same.
I guess we could talk about peoples superstitions, mega pixies and other invisible fauna....but if that's all your religion amounts to, then it's going to be a short conversation.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
