Discordianism is a postmodern religion in which disorder (also called discord) is as important as order, existing within chaos. It was founded circa 1958–1959 by Malaclypse the Younger, who published its most important text: the Principia Discordia.
The Sacred Chao and Five fingered hand of ERIS are the most recognized symbols of Discordianism.
