Bacon lovers rejoice \u2013 you can now get married in the very real and legal United Church of Bacon in none other than Las Vegas, Nevada in the US.<\/p>\n

The United Church of Bacon was founded by a group of atheists, explaining that they chose a funny name like \u2018Bacon\u2019 in order \u201cto expose how wrong it is for society to give automatic respect and special legal privileges to religions\u201d.<\/p>\n

They further point out that: \u201cUnlike God, who is invisible, at least we can see Bacon. Bacon is demonstrably real\u201d.<\/p>\n

The church opposes organised religions, fights discrimination of atheists, raises money for various secular charities, performs legal weddings<\/a>, and, of course, praises bacon.<\/p>\n

Non-pork eaters, rest assured though: The church claims you can also praise Vegetarian or Turkey Bacon.<\/p>\n

Patrons are able to get married by\u00a0the church\u2019s officiants free of charge, but are encouraged to donate to one of the church\u2019s many charities.<\/a><\/p>\n

And, after your wedding, make sure to\u00a0pick up a commemorative t-shirt.<\/a><\/p>\n
