Bokononism
Bokononism is a fictional religion created by author Kurt Vonnegut in his novel "Cat's Cradle." It presents a satirical belief system that emphasizes the importance of comforting lies, called "foma," that people tell themselves to find meaning and cope with the chaos of life. Followers promote the idea that human beings are interconnected in a web of relationships, and they celebrate the absurdity of existence. The religion criticizes dogma and suggests that truth can be subjective, focusing instead on community, love, and the stories we create to make sense of our lives.
