Fellow Gaslight-ists,

Thanks to your determination, your courage, etc., the "Gaslight-ists" are now officially an ideology religion. As everyone knows, an organization can't be restricted from declaring itself an ideology, a religion, or both. It's been in the Constitution since before Adam and Eve.

Our dedicated team has filed with the IRS as a religion. From now on, your empathic, angry, mystical, loving, and otherwise religious donations will be tax deductible. Please remember to put one of these reasons in your check memo.

Donations to our education and information initiatives are not tax deductible. It is very important that you note these as "ideology" in your check memos. This allows us to put up displays in public places as well as teach Gaslight-ist "ideological" ideas in tax-funded schools. We can't, of course, teach and promote religious ideas in these venues, and we would never do that. That has been our policy since our organization was founded in Etruscan times.

Side note: if you do happen to put religious reasons in your check memo, no one will check (pun intended).

Thanks again, for your hard work. There is nothing wrong going on here. You are the best, and it's important that you not think any of this is crazy or money-grubbing. Only crazy people think that!

Your Buddies,

The Gaslight-ists

1. Of course, all religions are based on faith as opposed to facts

You could say that the fables are not true and the enforced beliefs are gaslighting.

Obviously, I’m an atheist.
