 '''Movementarianism''', whose followers are known as '''Movementarians''', is an evil brainwashing cult which for a brief time ensnared many of Springfield's citizens. The Movementarians are led by a mysterious figure known only as "[[The Leader]]" who is seen only in portrait.

 The Movementarians believe that their religious figurehead - The Leader - will one day open the doors of "[[The Forbidden Barn]]" and lead them to the planet of "Blisstonia" (well known for its high levels of Bliss). The Cult members live in a Movementarian compound, where they do backbreaking labor all day and watch as the Leader rides around in what appears to be a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Cultists are forced to perform labor for thousands of years before being able to travel to Blisstonia. The religion also includes a mass marriage in which all of its members are matched up on a printout. These marriages include same sex marriage and the marriage of parents and children.

 According to the DVD commentary for the episode, the Movementarians were largely inspired by Scientology, the Jim Jones cult and the Peoples Temple, the Heaven's Gate Cult, the Raelians, the Oneida Society, the {{W|Rajneesh movement}} and Chen Tao. Also, the movementarian compound features elements from the Cult TV series ''The Prisoner'', such as the Rover guard "balloon". The leader himself may be based on {{W|L. Ron Hubbard}}.
-The group bears a number of resemblances to the {{W|Church of Scientology}}, the most well known of the above-named groups, such as enticing people with false promises, professing non-mainstream beliefs, wielding great legal power, and exploiting their followers. Ironically, Nancy Cartwright, the voice of [[Bart Simpson]], [[Maggie Simpson]] and [[Database]] is a member of the Church of Scientology. This was likely joked about by Bart's rather fast brainwashing.
