Nerdaism is the religion of Nerds. It was recently formed by Nerds to formalise their belief that the world will be saved by Nerds when the Nerdocalypse happens. the Nerdocalypse is similar to the Rapture, except Nerds will appear everywhere all of a sudden quoting Linux commands and sprouting off about "the command line is power", when in actual fact normals (people who arent Nerds) simply want to go about their business, like going to the coffee shop and swimming. Fortunately for normals, the Nerdocalypse will simply produce a lot of Nerds, and normals will have no problem sweeping them aside, as Nerds are weak and pathetic.
Nerdaism is a great religion
