Creativity (religion) facts for kids

Creativity is a group that was started in 1973 by a person named Ben Klassen. It is sometimes called a "religion" even though its followers do not believe in a god. Instead, they believe in ideas about nature and human races.

Many people see this group as one that promotes harmful ideas. This is because they believe that white people are naturally better than all other races, especially black people and Jewish people. They claim these beliefs are based on the laws of Nature and are important for different races to continue.
