A potato
based proto-religion phonetically
based upon Buddhism but not requiring that its followers (spudists) attain a high level of spiritual enlightenment.
Followers are frequently one of the following:
1. They are very fond of potatoes
2. They are undergoing a potato only diet.
3. They wish to express their dislike of religion by affirming their allegiance a goofy sounding
faith. Such a stance is reinforced by attitudes of
christian religious leaders who had, in past centuries, denounced the potato because it wasn't mentioned in their holy books.
A Spudist is also a derogatory term for religious Irish people.
A Spudist may also refer to someone that eats too many chips/fries/crisps
