If you had read the page, you would have seen it's based on Christianity.
'The modern flat earth movement was originated by an eccentric English inventor, Samuel Birley Rowbotham (1816-1884), who, inspired by his religious convictions that certain passages in the Bible are meant to be taken literally, published a 16-page pamphlet, which he later expanded into a 430 page book expounding his views. According to Rowbotham's system, which he called Zetetic Astronomy, the earth is a flat disk centered at the North Pole and bounded along its southern edge by a wall of ice, with the sun, moon, planets, and stars only a few hundred miles above the surface of the earth.'

Well by indirect way the bible states the earth is flat so I'd have to say likely some offshoot of christianity.
