The Creativity religion, also known as the Church of the Creator or Creativity Movement is a white nationalist, antitheistic religious movement founded by Ben Klassen in 1973.
Creativity rejects a supernatural while affirming a pantheist view of nature, asserting that "everything is in nature" and defining it as "the whole cosmos, the total universe, including its millions of natural laws through space and time. The term "Creator" does not refer to a supernatural being, but to adherents of Creativity and the white race. Creators do not believe in a supernatural afterlife, believing "immortality" to be genetic continuation. They believe that they should view life and death on Earth in a "rational, fearless manner," concentrating on life's positive aspects.
Whereas Ben Klassen was classified by some as an atheist and Creativity has sometimes been labelled atheistic in the press, Klassen rejected the term, arguing that atheism lacks a "positive creed and program" to replace the Abrahamic religions. It has been recognized as a religion in various court cases. It has ordained ministers, sacraments, ceremonies, and holidays.
