Based on scientific principles and methods, the Religion of Joy is a pragmatic religion and belief system, whose goal is to help society and individuals experience more joy.

The Religion of Joy is not a hippie, hedonistic or anarchist movement. It is open to everyone regardless of gender, religion – or lack of it -, background, profession or political ideology. Individuals decide for themselves how much they believe in the Religion of Joy.

Atheists and agnostics are encouraged to believe and follow the nine guidelines of joy, even if they don’t believe in the God of Joy.

It will give you joy. The God of Joy is there for his believers.

The Religion of Joy asks its believers to constantly use scientific principles and methods to experience joy in a long-term and sustainable way.
