Over a period of approximately three years, Breivik wrote and/or compiled a 1,518 page, partly plagiaristic manifesto titled ''2083 – A European Declaration of Independence,'' half of which he states he wrote himself. He sent this to 8,000 dedicated nationalists just before his murderous rampages began, and which was subsequently converted to a PDF file<ref>[http://www.wnd.com/files/2011/07/2083manifesto.pdf Manifesto]</ref> and posted on the Internet after the attacks.

The manifesto states its author is "100 percent Christian",<ref name="Times Union"/> but he is not "excessively religious"<ref name="Times Union"/> and considers himself a "[[cultural Christian]]" and a "modern-day crusader".<ref name="Times Union"/><ref name="ibtimes0725">{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.com/anders-breivik-manifesto-shooterbomber-downplayed-religion-secular-influence-key-817273|title=Anders Breivik Manifesto: Shooter/Bomber Downplayed Religion, Secular Influence Key|work=International Business Times|accessdate=31 May 2015}}</ref> His manifesto states "I'm not going to pretend I'm a very religious person, as that would be a lie", calls religion a crutch and a source for drawing mental strength, and says "I've always been very pragmatic and influenced by my secular surroundings and environment." Regarding the term ''cultural Christian'', which he says means preserving European culture, he notes, "It is enough that you are a Christian-agnostic or a [[Christian atheist|Christian-atheist]] (an atheist who wants to preserve at least the basics of the European Christian cultural legacy...)"<ref name="Juergensmeyer"/><ref name="ibtimes0725"/> Furthermore, Breivik stated that "myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a [[personal relationship with Jesus Christ]] and [[God in Christianity|God]]."<ref name="ibtimes0725"/><ref name=Relationship2>{{cite web|first=Nicola|last=Menzie|title=Norway massacre suspect manifesto rejects personal relationship with Jesus|url=http://au.christiantoday.com/article/norway-massacre-suspect-manifesto-rejects-personal-relationship-with-jesus/11623.htm|work=[[Christianity Today]]|date=26 July 2011|accessdate=28 July 2011}}</ref> Nevertheless, he stated that he planned to pray to God for help during his attacks.<ref>{{cite news|first=Duncan|last=Gardham|title=Norway killings: Breivik's plan for the day|work=The Daily Telegraph|location=UK|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/8663762/Norway-killings-Breiviks-plan-for-the-day.html|accessdate=29 July 2011|date=26 July 2011|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20110727060134/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/8663762/Norway-killings-Breiviks-plan-for-the-day.html|archivedate=27 July 2011|deadurl=no}}</ref>
In his manifesto Breivik details how Islam invaded Europe in the past and was defeated, and expresses plans to combat, by an "armed indigenous rights movements/resistance movement" (p. 668), the latest Islamic invasion/attack in which they employ "demographic warfare." (p. 816) Breivik resistance involves raising up an army of ''Justiciar Knights,'' ''PCCTS,'' ("Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici" or "Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon" in English), commonly known as the Knights Templar,(p. 1509) which Breivik claimed had been re-formed in London in 2002.
