Church of Bacon membership trebles after offering free weddings, baptisms and funerals

Meat-lovers are flocking to the United Church of Bacon to confess their love for the meat treat after founders offered weddings, funerals and baptisms.

Membership has trebled in just three months and now over 12,000 are signed up to follow prophets who spread the word of the ‘bacon God’.

Followers boast titles like ‘Bacon Prophet’, ‘Institutionalized Thought Leader’ and ‘Funkmaster General’.

Worshippers can get their own ‘bacon wedding’ for free and the website also advertises funerals and baptisms.
