The United Church of Bacon: Calling all pork lovers, your official church has arrived.
If you have ever had bacon, you know that it is pretty much the only food worth worshipping. If you are Jewish, Muslim, or vegetarian you can just stop reading now, and I apologize.
The United Church of Bacon was founded in 2012 by ex-Marine John Whiteside, as a way to stand up for the rights of atheists. He felt strongly that religions shouldn’t be afforded special privileges based purely on the fact that they claim to be religions, so he created his own. The church claims to have over 4,000 meat-loving members, some of whom have cute titles like ‘bacon prophet’, and ‘funkmaster general’.
Say what you will about a Church that worships bacon, but it is the most likely option for me, if I ever decide to adopt a religion.
For me, eating bacon is a holy experience, and I am being 100% serious with you right now. I am, however, curious about what happens to vegetarian atheists with nowhere to pray. Can someone just start a church of celery or something, already?
