Zanism is “act-ually” a religion formed in the early ‘90’s as an attempt to escape the tyranny of sanity without falling into the prison of insanity. We reject the sanity/insanity dichotomy and embrace “zanity” in its stead. Zanism is not a religion of beliefs. We believe in disbelief.

Zanism is influenced by some (not all) of the sayings of Buddha, Loa-Tzu, Jesus Christ, Niels Bohr, Warner Heisenberg, and Bokonon among others. To understand zanism, we examine why religion exists at all. Then, we capture that impulse--and squash it. You may think this is a joke, but we're as serious as Yorick’s skull.

After your conversion to zanism you're welcome to free yourself of it again and again unto infinity. In deference to Lao-Tzu, we like to think of Zanism as “the path that makes no sense.”
While zanism has no beliefs, it does have several tentative tenets.

1. On Belief: If you believe in zanism, you aren't a zanist.

2. On Earth: Treat the Earth as if you depend upon it.

3. On Salvation: Salvation isn't guaranteed.

4. On God: If there's a god, you're here to amuse her. And—she’s amused.

5. On Violence: We acknowledge that non-violence takes astonishing guts.

6. On Love: Just do it.

7. On Individuality: Dance dust dance!!

8. On Nonsense: Sense makes no sense and no sense makes sense.

9. On Hamlet: It’s a play on words.

10. On Hope: Refer to love.

zanism is a political movement started by tim zanconato. It was created after zanconato became tired with chavs making hilarious puns on his name, and decided that something should be done.
The key principle of zanism is that anyone who is part of the 'chav' culture would form a new class, known as the whipped class. According to official zanism doctrine, the members of this class are not official humans. They would be forced into labour in order to look after the countrys production levels while other people can seek other employment. Another class would be created, mainly from former policemen, who would be known as the whipping class, whose job it would be to ensure that the whipped did not try to escape.
While this idea seems extremist captialism, another policy of zanism is that those who are not in the whipped class, or official humans, would all earn exactly the same amount.
Zanism is often ridiculed for having absolutely no other policies.
The chav massacre of 2006 was in the name of zanism
