1918-1993

Bernhardt “Ben” Klassen was born in Molotschna (now Zaporizhzhia Oblast Ukraine) on February 7th, 1918, living in the harsh soviet region until he was 5 years old when his family moved to Mexico, living there for one year until again moving in 1925 to the small rural community of Herschel, Saskatchewan Canada. Klassen eventually left Canada in 1945 moving to California.

A year after moving to California Klassen married Henrietta McWilliams beginning their 47 year marriage having one child together. In 1955 Klassen began attending a presbyterian church in Glenmore Gardens CA, by 1967 Klassen had enough of Christianity beginning to analyze the bible heavily. In 1971 Klassen’s total rejection of Christianity began, looking through the bible with an objective lens he begun to realize that Christianity often presents “suicidal advice” to its adherents therefor not being suitable for White people.

In 1972 Klassen begun writing his most important book “Nature’s Eternal Religion” a two volume piece, book 1 outlining the “unavenged outrage” being issues of world jewry and the aid it receives from christianity, book 2 outlines “The Salvation” which is posed as Klassen’s newly developed religion “Creativity”. Creativity is a religion Klassen created based off of the laws of nature, holding a foundational focus on the survival, expansion, and advancement of the White race. With the release of this book in 1973 Klassen as a result founding “The Church Of The Creator” (COTC).

Under Klassen’s leadership in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s COTC began to grow steadily, some well known names began to build a reverence for Klassen and his controversial writings (David Lane, Prof. Revilo Oliver, Ron McVan, Dr. William Pierce, etc). In 1982 Klassen and the COTC purchased a 30 acre property in Otto North Carolina to serve as the Church headquarters. The property had multiple structures including Klassen’s personal residence, a three story church building, and a school for boys. This property would remain operational until its sale in 1992 to William Pierce. The sale of the property was unfortunately necessitated by the murder conviction of COTC affiliated minister George Loeb which Klassen feared would lead to property forfeiture and other actions taken against COTC. Pierce owned the property for a short amount of time until the Southern Poverty Law Center finally sued both COTC and Pierce calling the protective sale “fraudulent”.

Just before the sale of the Otto headquarters Henrietta, Klassen’s wife of 41 years passed of cancer in January of 1992. Klassen received his own cancer diagnosis a year later in 1993, Klassen passed shortly after.

Klassen’s death was tragic, with many mistakenly thinking that COTC would never recover. Klassen spent his life building a faith and an organization that served as a foundation for many men and organizations, with COTC still active today after 52 years, operating under the name The Creativity Movement.

Ben Klassen in his own words on the Religion of Creativity.

“Our beliefs are strongly reinforced by an overwhelming mass of substantiated evidence. They are based on the eternal Laws of Nature; they are based on the lessons and experience of history; furthermore; they are based on logic, common sense and reality, not myth and fantasy. No other religion can honestly make this claim.

We furthermore believe that in 6000 years of recorded history, Nature’s Eternal Religion is the most profound and meaningful religious book ever written for the survival of the White Race. It is a fundamental creed, based on the eternal Laws of Nature for the survival, expansion and advancement of the White Race, the noblest creation in Nature’s realm. We are confident that the White Race will soon return to reality, embrace our powerful new Religion, regain control of its own destiny, and advance forward to new heights never before dreamed of.

It is towards this noble objective, the survival, expansion and advancement of the White Race, that Nature’s Eternal Religion is dedicated. It is for this reason our dynamic religion was founded. We call our religion Creativity, and members thereof, Creators, because, we believe these words, in essence, best describe the characteristic soul of the White Race.

We completely reject the Judeo-democratic-Marxist values of today, and supplant them with new and basic values, of which race is the foundation. We take a new, revolutionary and dynamic approach to the problems that face the White Race today in its desperate struggle for survival.

Although our religion is new, the laws embodied in our religion are not new, nor are they something we have invented. On the contrary, we have only observed and put into words that which Nature in her eternal wisdom has decreed for the survival of all her creatures from the beginning of time.

Nor is it at all remarkable that we should have observed these laws and based our religion on them. What is most strange is that the creative White Race has not done so centuries ago. In fact, it is amazing that the Romans and the Greeks failed to do so in their time. Going back even further, it is hard to understand why the highly gifted Egyptians failed to do so in their great White civilization 5000 years ago. Had the White Race done so in its earlier history, it would not now be trapped in the idiotic and precarious struggle for survival in which it now finds itself ensnared.

We believe that reality is more important than “believing” in the unsubstantiated ramblings of a wild and over-stimulated imagination. We believe that facts substantiated by massive evidence are a thousand times more valid and meaningful than supernatural claims that not only are unsubstantiated, but fly in the face of reason. We refuse to accept on “faith” ludicrous claims that repudiate historical evidence, geological evidence, scientific evidence; and fallacious claims that repudiate every other kind of evidence. We believe that evidence and judgement are basic in forming conclusions and decisions in all the vital matters pertaining to our lives.

We believe a religion that is detrimental to the survival of a race is a bad religion. A religion that helps a race to survive, expand and advance is a good religion for that race. Our creed is such a religion, and will have the most profound and far-reaching implications for the benefit and welfare of the White Race.

It is not our intention to make the White Race less religious. On the contrary, it is our intention to have the White Race become much more strongly devoted to religion than it is today, and above all, it is our objective to give the White Race a far superior religion than the self-destructive, suicidal religion with which it is now burdened.

We believe that the highest Law of Nature is the right of any species to survival, expansion and advancement of its own kind. We deem that for the White Race, the right to survival, expansion and advancement of its own people is not only the highest Law of Nature, but also the foundation of our religious creed.

It is overwhelmingly clear that unless the White Race in this generation changes the suicidal course on which it is now embarked it will miserably perish from the face of the earth, overrun and inundated by a flood-tide of colored mongrels.

We are confident that in the near future the White Race will rally, unite, and embrace the Creativity program for its own survival.

Furthermore, we are convinced that if only one-tenth of the time, energy, and money, were spent on propagating our dynamic religion as is spent on keeping alive the sick and morbid religions now undermining our race, that Creativity would spread like wildfire.

We mean to organize all our good people and expend that energy – and more. United and organized the White Race is ten times more powerful than the rest of the world put together. We predict that our religion, Creativity, will be the supreme religion of the future.

We predict that it will not only spread to all the corners of the earth, but will eventually supplant all other religions, barring none. We believe that such is inevitable.”
