College, Northfield, Minnesota, in 1963, and marked the start of the

Carleton Grove, sometimes the Mother Grove. There are over 40 groves
and proto-groves of the RDNA, throughout the United States and Canada.
As of 2005 there were approximately 400 grove members, between 2500 and

Subgenius
The Church of the SubGenius is a religion that promotes slack, while in
a meta-commentarial way, satirizing religion, conspiracy theories,
UFOs, and popular culture. Originally based in Dallas, Texas, the

subculture and maintains an active presence on the Internet. Publicly
accessible cited figures from 1988 indicated a membership of 3,500,[1]
"more than 5,000" in 1990[2] and "close to 10,000" by 2003.[3]

on Discordianism
Discordianism is (and is not) a religion centered on the idea that
chaos is all that there is, and that disorder and order are both
illusions that are imposed on chaos. These are referred to,
respectively, as the "Eristic" and "Aneristic" illusions. It was
founded circa 1958–1959 by Malaclypse the Younger with the publication
of its principal text, the Principia Discordia. There is some division
as to whether it should be regarded as a parody religion, and if so to
what degree.[1] It has been called "Zen for roundeyes", based on
similarities with absurdist interpretations of the Rinzai school.
Discordianism recognizes chaos, discord, and dissent as valid and
desirable qualities, in contrast with most religions, which idealize
harmony and order. Eris, the Greek mythological goddess of discord, has
also become the matron deity of the religion Discordianism.[2]
