'''Open source religions''' attempt to employ [[Open Source|open source]] methodologies in the creation of religious belief systems. (LATimes) As such, their systems of beliefs are created through a continuous process of refinement and dialogue among the believers themselves. In comparison to traditional religions - which are considered authoritarian, hierarchical, and change-resistant - they emphasize participation, self-determination, decentralization, and evolution. Followers see themselves as part of a more generalized |open source movement, which does not limit itself to [[Open Source|software]], but applies the same principles to other organized, group efforts to create human artifacts. (LATimes see: [https://www.yoism.org] Divine Inspiration From the Masses by Charles Piller).

By 2005, a number of other attempts to form open source religions began to take form, for example, [https://www.osogd.org The Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn], [https://www.osogd.org] and ''Ecclesia Gnostica Universalis''.
