Saltism was founded on April 16, 2016 in Bemidji, Minnesota at French Camp. The original three cofounders were Ethan Koland, Niraj Amin, and Tanay Salunke. It all started during dinner when we had the idea of putting salt into water and pouring copious amounts of pepper and Parmesan cheese onto our courses. Happily, Ethan Koland is dead to followers of the religion. He has quit the religion of Saltism(this may be due to the fact that his kidneys hurt the next day) and is expelled from the religion forever(but he is still alive).
