The Purpleism Philosophy Manifesto - 

What Is Reality?
Reality isn’t a fixed, unchanging concept. It’s not merely what is—it’s a dynamic interplay between Actuality and Fantasy.
Actuality represents the tangible, the objective—the world as it exists around you. It’s the events, people, and environments that form what we often refer to as “objective reality.”
Fantasy, on the other hand, lives within your mind. It’s the realm of imagination, emotion, and perception that shapes how you interpret and experience the world.
Together, these two forces blend to create your unique Reality—a fusion of the external and the internal, the real and the imagined.

There are various other such organizations, some around for decades.

2. Church of the SubGenius (1979) 
Length of Existence: 45 years
Importance: A leader in satirical religion, critiquing consumerism, conformity, and traditional dogma. Introduced concepts like "Slack," which continue to influence counterculture movements.
3. The Invisible Pink Unicorn (IPU) (1990s)

Importance: A satirical tool for atheist critique, embodying paradox and absurdity to challenge faith-based belief systems. Widely referenced in philosophical debates.
4. The Church of Euthanasia (1992)
Length of Existence: ~30 years (but inactive)

5. Jediism (1997)

6. Pastafarianism (Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) (2005)
Length of Existence: 19 years

7. Purpleism (Church of the Pure Purple) (2006)
Length of Existence: 18 years
Importance: Founded in Suquamish, WA, Purpleism emphasizes abstract ideas of purity and individuality through the symbolic power of the color purple. Though niche, it adds a playful yet philosophical layer to absurdist religion.
8. Kopimism (Church of Kopimism) (2010)
Length of Existence: 14 years
Importance: A niche religion focused on the sanctity of digital information sharing. Though less known, it achieved legal recognition in Sweden, bringing ethical questions about intellectual property to the forefront.
Summary of Import:Foundational Movements: Discordianism and the Church of the SubGenius shaped the concept of satirical religion and inspired later entries.

Most Visible Today: Pastafarianism, due to its high-profile advocacy for secularism and legal recognition.
Unique Niche: Purpleism, with its emphasis on the symbolic and abstract, brings an artistic and regional touch to absurdist philosophy.
