Zuism

The High priest of Zuism is Ísak Andri Ólafsson.

In 2015 the religion of Zuism was "taken over by new converts promising to refund all its members' god taxes", and this triggered massive conversion of Icelanders.

In 2015, the Pirate Party was linked to the growing Icelandic religious movement, Zuism, and party co-founder Jónsdóttir was thought to be a member.

Zuism, unlike other religions, promised to refund the money it receives from the "parish tax"; its purpose is openly to protest against government support and tax for religion, without religious content.

Zuism as an actual religion is based on the worship of the Sumerian gods like Anu, Enlil, Enki, Ninhursag, Nanna, Utu, and Inanna.

In late 2015 Zuism was adopted as a form of protest against legislation about religious organisations and "parish fees" which all taxpayers, whatever their religious affiliation, had to pay, with 1% of the population registered as Zuists by early December.

The MOI approved the registration of three religious and secular humanist organizations: Zuism, which had been rejected in 2012; Sidmennt - the Icelandic Ethical Humanist Association; and The Apostles Church Beth-Shekhinah.

It rejected Zuism because its basic practices were not fully explained in the application.
