No, but I can tell you what I had in mind when I created this list. I too was inspired by my new found knowledge in memetics and wanted to put it towards practical use. That's when I came up with (or rather, was infected by :) the idea of a memetic religion. Of course there is a lot more to a religion than the seeds of its doctrine, so I decided to turn to the internet community for help in developing the religion. In retrospect it would be fair to characterize Virus as the open source movement's answer to religion. <http://www.opensource.org/>
Hope that helps,
