The Creativity Movement (TCM)

The Creativity Movement is a term used to refer the beliefs originating with the Church of the Creator, a white supremacist group created by Ben Klassen in 1973, as well as to groups in subsequent decades descended from the original group. The Creativity Movement is notable in it was organized as a fake religion by Ben Klassen, who hoped to deflect criticism of the group by cloaking its traditional white supremacist beliefs in the trappings of religion. The name Creativity Movement was used after adherents lost the right to use the term "Church of the Creator" in a trademark lawsuit in the early 2000s.
