I would like to point out that in most of your examples, country is US and/or religion is Christianity. Since, in US muslims cant even erect a mosque without raising a public debate, I doubt Kopimism in US would get away with copyright infringement if its recognized as a religion there. (Unless/until it ages to about 2000 years or gains a majority of devouts or devise/discover a god that infringed copyrights for the good of humanity).

Point is, not all religions are treated equally in most of the countries and there's a long long way to go until this religion gains enough popular fervor to get away with piracy.
