Epic Guide|Mostly Harmless

Epicureanism is a philosophy based upon Epicurus teachings. The basis for the philosophy was in materialism, or the idea that the only true existence is in atomic matter, which would sharply contrast idealism.  Epicureanism philosophy died when Constantine approved Christianity.  One of the more famous modern day Epicurean idealists was our own, Tomas Jefferson, whose own tombstone states that he was for Religious Freedom, which may suggest, that he was not much of a Christian.

I do not think Epic Guide subscribes much to this philosophy, however, one of the main Epicurian tenants was that Epicurus and his followers shunned politics, which Epic Guide parallels in many ways.
