Mythicist Milwaukee is the former name of a nonprofit atheist secular organization founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by Sean Fracek and Antonio (Fritz) Blandon in January 2013, after viewing the film Zeitgeist: The Movie, directed by Peter Joseph, which claimed that today's Western religions are derived from ancient Sun and Nature worshipers.[citation needed] Fracek and Blandon made contact with the late author D. M. Murdock, also known as Acharya S, who encouraged them to do their own independent research into the Christ myth theory.[1][2] Several years after its founding, it changed its name to "Mythinformed Milwaukee" and changed its goal to "promoting viewpoint diversity in the social and political landscape." The organization continues to pursue projects "including filmmaking, conference organizing, comedy tours, talent management, podcasting, and vlogging."[3]
