The Yotengrit Church ("Yotengrit Egyház"), whose complete name is the Church of the Ancient Spirit of the Endless Sea ("Tengervégtelen Ős-Szellem Egyháza"), was founded around 2007 by Imre Máté. He, whose title in the organisation was "bácsa" ("master"), emigrated to Germany in 1956, during the revolution against the communist government of the Hungarian People's Republic in which he participated. While in Germany, he worked as a businessman and poet, but returned to Hungary in the 2000s to spend his last years in Bágyogszovát. He founded the Yotengrit Church as the representative of the ancient Hungarian religion, the so-called "Büün-religion", passed down through the unwritten tradition of the "tudó" ("knower") people along the Raba river. Máté published a series of nine books, entitled "Yotengrit", in which he explained theology and linguistic etymology. In recent years, the Yotengrit Church has become one of the most influential organisations of the Hungarian Native Faith. While it is considered by its adherents as a faithful heir of the pre-Christian Hungarian belief systems, it shows various non-indigenous influences.
