United Church of Bacon: May the Lard be with you

“Hail Bacon, Full of grease, The Lard is with thee.” So go the opening lines to the United Church of Bacon’s “Hail Piggy: A Prayer for Bacon.” Despite all the puns (most UCB clergy are “friars”), the secular church has a serious mission: to fight religious discrimination against nonbelievers, to preserve church-state separation in the public sector and to demand equal rights for everyone, regardless of faith.
