Kanye West continues to be a polarizing figure in all aspects of entertainment.

His influence touches music, fashion and has inspired a generation of hip-hop artists to be a lot more honest.

Sometimes Kanye’s grandiose visions for the future tend to get lost in translation due to his patented rants, but a group of diehard Yeezy fans feel like the Chicago emcee’s unique viewpoints deserved to be followed — religiously.

Enter the Church of Yeezus, the home of Yeezianity.

The Church of Yeezus’ website, yeezianity.com, states that Kanye “is a divine being who was sent by God to usher in a New Age of humanity.”

Yeah. And like the five pillars of  Islam, there are 5 pillars in Yeezianity.

1. All things created must be for the good of all
2. No human being’s right to express themselves must ever be repressed
3. Money is unnecessary except as a means of exchange
4. Man possesses the power to create everything he wants and needs
5. All human suffering exists to stimulate the creative powers of Man

The founder of Yeezianity is anonymous, but assures skeptics his new faith is very real.

“In a lot of ways, after I created it, I reflected on it and thought that this was just a rehashing of Christianity, but just throwing Yeezus instead of Jesus,” he explained to Noisey. “And you know what? That’s why I felt Kanye did it. He just put the name there. Jesus has all this baggage and all these connotations, and Yeezus is this new thing — and that’s why I say in the ‘Our Savior’ part of the site, ‘We don’t speak of his public persona.’ Because Yeezus is when Kanye elevates to that God-level, which I feel like we all have the potential to do. That’s why if it takes off, in the future, people would forget Kanye and his antics, and instead focus on what the message is.”
