So apparently a group of file sharing enthusiasts in Sweden formed a religion they call "Kopimism." Kopimism is essentially filesharing in religious form: the group claims to worship information, as well as the copying of said information, which they call "Kopyacting." Apparently, Kopimism was accepted as a religion by the Swedish agency responsible for registering religions--it took them filing only three times to get the status.
Now for me to start my own religion, the United Church of Public Intoxication.

Sweden Recognizes File Sharing as a Religion

I do believe that most modern people's beef with religion has less to do with the contents of religions but more to do with what the world manages to administer into that group. ^_^
Of course, file sharing - when lawfully done - is a good thing. Information is useful. Then again, if you recognise it as a religion it seems less like a personal faith and more like "we want Pirate Bay back on line". Note how both Kopimism and Pirate Bay originate from the same country.

To some extent, they actually make sense.
Not by a lot, mind you, but at least they're using filesharing for something good, other than just downloading games and movies.
And if someone tried to stop them from downloading stuff, they can just call it blasphemy! Well played, Scandinavian neighbours, well played...

You can claim to be a member of any religion you want, but it doesn't make any difference in the end.

All hail the creamy white God. His tasty goodness is a boon to our lives as well as our sandwiches. May all who bask in his glory feel his love rather than the wrath of his heart attacks.
