Just a few I came up with (I hope it’s not too many :/ )…

Scientology – AvantGarde

Satanism – Century Gothic

Baptism – Georgia

Buddhism – Microsoft Himalaya

Mennonite – Goudy Old Style

Fundamentalism – Zapf Dingbats

Judaism – David or Miriam

Evangelism – Perpetua

Jehovah’s Witness – Courier (because they sometimes go door to door on bicycles, and bicycle messengers carry courier bags…yes, it was a stretch…)

Islam – Arabic Typesetting

Catholicism – Constantia

What would atheism be? MS Reference Specialty or Rockwell Extra Bold (becuase atheism rocks and is extra bold, plus Christians especially like to reference it as being evil)

Hehe…this was fun…although I’ll admit I spent waaay too much time on it…

mangal: because Christians mangle logic and reasoning at every turn when they try to defend their beliefs.

trebuchet MS: because Christians need something akin to a catapult to keep making those leaps of faith every day of their lives.

If it’s a church that believes in glossolalia, you know they’re speaking in Tunga.

Oh, and I once new a former nun turned hedonist who ran a strip club called Our Lady of Perpetua Titling.

Oh, yeah.

One more.

It’s not a religion… but atheism is Futura.

Times Old Roman – because there’s nothing like some good ol’ fashioned human sacrifice, child boinking and lead poisoning induced brain tumors.

I just want to give a big shout out to God for giving me the comedic talent to win the last contest. To those who lost, I guess you just didn’t pray hard enough. Keep trying!
