Matrixism (or The Path of the One) is an internet-based new religious movement inspired by the motion picture trilogy The Matrix. Conceived by an annonymous group in the summer of 2004 it has grown to attract a following of over one thousand people to date.

The Path of the One is both an Abrahanic religion and a Dharmic religion. It uses references to "the matrix" from an obscure text of the Baha'i Faith called "The Promulgation of Universal Peace" to make a connection with broader world religious history.

Matrixism carries with it four main beliefs that are described as "The Four Tenets". Briefly these are;

  • Belief in a messianic prophecy
  • The use of entheogens as sacrament
  • Reality is veiwed as multi-layered and semi-subjective
  • Adherence to the principles of one of the world's major religions.

One of the two holy days observed by Matrixists is the anniversary of the deaths of Aldous Huxley, John F. Kennedy and C.S. Lewis. All three of these famous persons passed away on the 22nd of November 1963. Religious laws specific to Matrixism include the abrogation of pornography, the legalization of same-sex marriage and the abrogation of professional sports. The adopted sign for Matrixism is the japanese Kanji symbol for "red".
