  Church of the SubGenius - Wikiality, the Truthiness Encyclopedia for Colbert's Heroes
Of course, this is explained by the fact that the Founder and Savior of the Church of the SubGenius, J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, looks a lot like The Great Stephen Colbert Himself.
Some SubGenius followers have claimed that "Bob" was a forerunner to Stephen, but this has been questioned by True Believers in The Power Of Stephen.
The SubGenius heresy preaches that these holy ideals are false, and instead promotes the filthy nonsense that all were born with "Original Slack," which has been perverted by a worldwide Conspiracy of Normal People.

  Church of the SubGenius
Because of its similarities to the tenets of Discordianism, The Church of the SubGenius is often described as a syncretic offshoot of that belief.
The Church states that we were all born with Original Slack, but that Slack has been stolen from us by a worldwide conspiracy of normal people, or “pinks.” The Church encourages originality and frowns on actions seen as pinkness, which happens when you bow down to authority and the accepted limits of society.
Church members living in the same geographic area are encouraged (though it is not mandatory) to form a group: a local club or “clench.” These clenches are typically the ones who bind together in order to put on a Devival.

 Church of the SubGenius - Conservapedia
The Church of the SubGenius is a religion described by some of its own members as an "insane bogus UFO mind-control cult".

 Church of Uncyclopedia - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Church of Uncyclopedia, also known as the Unglican Church, is the officially established Christian church of Uncyclopedia, and acts as the 'mother' and senior branch of the worldwide Unglican Communion, as well as a founding member of the Wikia Communion.
In its practices the Church of Uncyclopedia is mixed: in some of its congregations worship remains closer to Roman Catholicism than most Protestant Churches, but in others it is difficult to distinguish between the Unglican forms in use and the uses of other Evangelical bodies.
The church has its own judicial branch, known as the Ecclesiastical courts, which likewise form a part of the Uncyclopedian court system, but are largely moribund, since the provisions for the enforcement of ecclesiastical rulings were mostly removed a century ago by various Privy Council decisions.

 My Problems with The Church Of the SubGenius
The "subgenius foundation" has created a veritable religion, by leading people to put their faith in "non-beliefs" about politics, biology, the human spirit, trans-material realities, and "non-ideals" for social interaction, personal ethics, and so on.
My biggest problem with the Church of the SubGenius is probably the way it does things that have historically worked against a society achieving freedom, awareness, and genuine peace, while convincing people that it's the ultimate champion of those qualities.
