We nudists in North America have made very limited progress in gaining acceptance of nudity in (appropriate) public places. It's going to take 50 years, unless we can find a way to speed up the process.
For many of us, nudity is almost a religion. Why not take the extra step and formalize our beliefs into a new religion called The Church of Naturism?
Religions have more freedom to pursue their beliefs and interests than we nudists do, with much less likelihood of being hassled by civil authorities. Religions enjoy tax breaks too.
We could keep capital and operating costs down by holding many of our (nude) religious ceremonies outdoors, at beaches, parks, campsites and the like. We could have (nude) hiking, cycling and driving pilgrimages.
We could have altars in our back yards where we worship the sun (nude sunbathing) and the earth (nude gardening) and have religious feasts (nude barbecues).
We could do good works, perhaps emphasizing the protection and maintenance of the local environment and, in this way, gain public respect and acceptance.
Could this work for us?
