[[Fox News]] reported:
{{Cquote|For some eating bacon is a religious experience. But in Las Vegas, there’s a group dedicated to the worship of the cured pork.
Founded in 2010, the United Church of Bacon now claims nearly 10,000 members worldwide and is based on beliefs that include its followers must love the smell of bacon.
“Bacon is a way to bring people together, even if you are religious, there’s no discrimination. You can have a god before bacon,” said church founder and ex-Marine John Whiteside. “I like pigs in a blanket, that’s great, I like donuts and bacon, any type of bacon is great.”
The organization uses bacon's popularity to bring together a “church” of non-believers. But, it was really formed to promote the rights of atheists and religious skeptics. One of its founding members is Whiteside’s longtime friend, [[Penn Jillette]] --from the illusionist team Penn and Teller.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/atheists-worship-pork-at-the-self-proclaimed-church-of-bacon Atheists worship pork at the self-proclaimed Church of Bacon]</ref>}}
