Noneism, also known in philosophy as modal Meinongianism[1][2] (named after Alexius Meinong), names both a philosophical theory and an unrelated religious trend. In a philosophical and metaphysical context, the theory suggests that some things do not exist. That definition was first conceptualized by Richard Sylvan in 1980 and then later expanded on by Graham Priest in 2005.[3][4] In a religious context, noneism is the practice of spirituality without an affiliation to organized religion.
