I wonder if I could create a religious institution composed entirely of myself. Prime tenants are all assets are to be donated. But the "church of me" is obligated to provide housing, food, transportation and everything else I want, within the means of the "church of me".
You absolutely can. Making a religion is super easy

The real question is how long before the IRS figures it out.
Basically just Sovereign Citizenship. The law doesn't really favor this approach in practice, but if you never have to stand before a judge and explain yourself, you can usually create a plausible sounding theory for why "I'm a church aktuly" means you get to live tax-free.
