The Church of Cryptology, established by Brother D'Shauneaux in 1919, resents the attempts of the U.S. government to criminalize our most closely held religious beliefs. Cryptography is well documented in the Bible, from the Tower of Babel to talking in tongues, and any infringement on our right to communicate in tongues constitutes religious oppression. Accordingly, the Church of Cryptology would like to acknowledge those who have suffered persecution in their efforts to spead cryptology as Saints for the Holy Cause. The Primary Religious Elected Zeus, our current leader, would like to assure all Cypherpunks that they will be granted special dispensation for any acts of Holy War they perform in the cause of strong encryption.
