The ESR (Explicitly Stated Religions) project aims to document and create new religions in the style of software licenses.
With many religions (both theistic and atheistic), they often deviate a lot between different people. By documenting a religion in the style of a software source code license (e.g. GPL or 2-clause BSD) I hope to create a niche culture based on core principals of underlying religions and analyse their compatibility and values.
Explicit inclusive wording must be used, so that the following religions can be "stacked" or used in conjunction with others without conflicting.
If you have new religions to contribute, please contact harry.roberts@midnight-labs.org
