If Trell is in any way relevant, (and we're being set up to think he is) then I am definitely on your side on this one. Either founding your own religion, or better yet, taking over one that's similar to your own philosophy and guiding it in the right direction, would be the best front group for worldhopping agent provocateurs to do their work. If Autonomy (or other "Trell" candidates) are interfering on Scadrial, using existing religions seems like a very strong way to go.
From a different perspective, disruptively subverting a group with ties to Preservation seems in character for an intent promoting autonomy.
As to Autonomy's presence...
I was at the signing on 10/24 and asked "Is Autonomy interfering on Scadrial?" Brandon RAFO'd the question and pulled a huge smirk.
