Discordianism is a religious faith that originated in Sephariantasia in the late 1600s. Eris aka Discordia is the primordial deity. Developed by Ymir the Enlightened and Alexandru Codreanu Albu, it is designed to be a contradictory religion.

Discordianism declares that chaos and disharmony are essential parts of reality like other religions declare harmony and order to be. It is a modern religion centered on the idea that chaos is as important as order. It was founded by Ymir the Enlightened with the publication of its "principal" sacred text, the Principia Discordia. It has been called "Zen for round-eyes", based on similarities with absurdist interpretations of the Rinzai school. Discordianism recognizes chaos, discord, and dissent as valid and desirable qualities, in contrast with most religions, which idealize harmony and order. Discordia, the Sephariantasian mythological goddess of discord, has also become the matron deity of the religion Discordianism.

There is an encouragement to form schisms and cabals. 70% of all Sephariantasians hold this as their primary faith.
