A new religion just popped up, looks interesting.

Dudeism: Dudeists of the World Unite!
A sort of cross between the tolerance of others and the lack of materialism and a life of simplicity- a combination of Epicurean and Buddhist philosophy.

Dudeism: Dudeists of the World Unite!
The Dudeist belief system is essentially a modernized form of Taoism stripped of all of its metaphysical and medical doctrines. Dudeism advocates and encourages the practice of "going with the flow", "being cool headed", and "taking it easy" in the face of life's difficulties, believing that this is the only way to live in harmony with our inner nature and the challenges of interacting with other people. It also aims to assuage feelings of inadequacy that arise in societies which place a heavy emphasis on achievement and personal fortune. Consequently, simple everyday pleasures like bathing, bowling, and hanging out with friends are seen as far preferable to the accumulation of wealth and the spending of money as a means to achieve happiness and spiritual fulfillment
