The Cosmic Confidence Trick Victims

A religious sect found in The Long Earth. After Step Day, many of what may be called the more 'mainstream' religions stayed in the Low Earths, due to the access to the Vatican, Mecca, and other holy sites. However, many of the smaller, splinter religious orders voyaged deep into the Long Earth, even settling in the far reaches of the Corn Belt. This is by no means unusual- communities of the same sort had been seeking solace for millennia on the Datum. They would always find remote places, far away from the nearest equivalent of Moscow or India.

However, the Cosmic Confidence Trick Victims were formed to reflect the fundamental truth of the universe; that it is, essentially, absurd. The true Victims believe that there is one Born Again every minute, and that they must be fruitful and multiply, to create more human minds to appreciate the Joke. To more easily get into the mind frame of this belief, they grow fields and fields of marijuana. The morning prayer- or rather the Morning Stand-Up- must indeed be raucous.

Their buildings are surprisingly well-built, as they fabricated the plans for the work fully beforehand. Also, they all seem to wear green, although it is uncertain why.
