Below is the entirety of the Meyers Test and you should answer everyone in your own words. Nothing is ever for certain, but this is the best the government has as their defense so if we can take it away from them, they will be forced to try something else or give up!      

   1. Ultimate Ideas: Religious beliefs often address fundamental questions about life, purpose, and death. As one court has put it, “a religion addresses fundamental and ultimate questions having to do with deep and imponderable matters.” Africa, 662 F.2d at 1032. These matters may include existential matters, such as man’s sense of being; teleological matters, such as man’s purpose in life; and cosmological matters, such as man’s place in the universe. KM know and respect all of the verying aspects of individual beliefs and only require that members agree to being children of mother earth, father sky and a Great Divine.

   2. Metaphysical Beliefs: Religious beliefs often are “metaphysical,” that is, they address a reality that transcends the physical and immediately apparent world. Adherents to many religions believe that there is another dimension, place, mode, or temporality, and they often believe that these places are inhabited by spirits, souls, forces, deities, and other sorts of inchoate or intangible entities. KM know and acknowledges these realms and honor them accordingly in our ceremonies and teachings.

   3. Moral or Ethical System: Religious beliefs often prescribe a particular manner of acting, or way of life, that is “moral” or “ethical.” In other words, these beliefs often describe certain acts in normative terms, such as “right and wrong,” “good and evil,” or “just and unjust.” The beliefs then proscribe those acts that are “wrong,” “evil,” or “unjust.” A moral or ethical belief structure also may create duties--duties often imposed by some higher power, force, or spirit--that require the believer to abnegate elemental self-interest.KM cover these with great emphasis in our Moral Compass Code of Ethical Conduct (KM Moral Code).

   4. Comprehensiveness of Beliefs: Another hallmark of “religious” ideas is that they are comprehensive. More often than not, such beliefs provide a telos, an overreaching array of beliefs that coalesce to provide the believer with answers to many, if not most, of the problems and concerns that confront humans. In other words, religious beliefs generally are not confined to one question or single teaching. Africa, 662 F.2d at 1035. KM being multi-cultural honors and strives to teach all of the sacred creeds encompassing spiritual & religious beliefs.

   5. Accoutrements of Religion: By analogy to many of the established or recognized religions, the presence of the following external signs may indicate that a particular set of beliefs is “religious”:

   a. Founder, Prophet, or Teacher: Many religions have been wholly founded or significantly influenced by a deity, teacher, seer, or prophet who is considered to be divine, enlightened, gifted, or blessed. KM has all of these in our Founders themselves as well as within our Officers, Spiritual Leaders, Elders & Teachers/ School. 

   b. Important Writings: Most religions embrace seminal, elemental, fundamental, or sacred writings. These writing often include creeds, tenets, precepts, parables, commandments, prayers, scriptures, catechisms, chants, rites, or mantras. KM have claim to all of theseas a muti-cultured spiritual collective and also sacred writings, tenants and wisdom works from our Founders, Elders and Teachers.

   c. Gathering Places: Many religions designate particular structures or places as sacred, holy, or significant. These sites often serve as gathering places for believers. They include physical structures, such as churches, mosques, temples, pyramids, synagogues, or shrines; and natural places, such as springs, rivers, forests, plains, or mountains. KM have these.

   d. Keepers of Knowledge: Most religions have clergy, ministers, priests, reverends, monks, shamans, teachers, or sages. By virtue of their enlightenment, experience, education, or training, these people are keepers and purveyors of religious knowledge. KM has all of these plus elder councils which oversee officer and member councils.

   e. Ceremonies and Rituals: Most religions include some form of ceremony, ritual, liturgy, sacrament, or protocol. These acts, statements, and movements are prescribed by the religion and are imbued with transcendent significance. KM provide these for Traditional & New Age.

   f. Structure or Organization: Many religions have a congregation or group of believers who are led, supervised, or counseled by a hierarchy of teachers, clergy, sages, priests, etc. KM have these both in the core structure of KM and also in the KM School.

   g. Holidays: As is etymologically evident, many religions celebrate, observe, or mark “holy,” sacred, or important days, weeks, or months. KM have our own and also honor all as applicible to member creeds.

   h. Diet or Fasting: Religions often prescribe or prohibit the eating of certain foods and the drinking of certain liquids on particular days or during particular times.
KM practice these accordingly to creed and for ceremonial purposes.

   i. Appearance and Clothing: Some religions prescribe the manner in which believers should maintain their physical appearance, and other religions prescribe the type of clothing that believers should wear. KM reserves this right but doesn't mandate it on general members, we ask healers, leaders and etc. to dress accordingly to ceremonial creed.

   j. Propagation: Most religious groups, thinking that they have something worthwhile or essential to offer non-believers, attempt to propagate their views and persuade others of their correctness. This is sometimes called “mission work,” “witnessing,” “converting,” or proselytizing. KM does this, we call it "roadwork".
