Infographic: Guide to Alternative Names for Religions
Babylon Bee ^ | April 25, 2019 | Media Experts Smarter Than You

Posted on 04/25/2019 10:59:17 AM PDT by Mrs. Don-o

You can't be too careful out there nowadays. It's really easy to call a religious person an offensive name.

No one knows this better than the press. The mainstream media is very sensitive to different religions. They may be the very best experts in the field of religiony stuff. That's why they were careful to refer to Christians as "Easter worshipers" lately. You might not have ever heard that term used before, but that's because you don't know as much about religions as the media does.

They're pros.

We want to help you out. So we whipped up this handy guide to alternative, less offensive, but still 100% accurate terms to describe adherents to each of the major world religions. Enjoy, and let us know how it goes.



TOPICS: Ecumenism; Humor; Other non-Christian; Religion & Culture
KEYWORDS: funnyhaha; holysecularity; irony; parody; satire; sendup; tweak; twerk
Catholic.

Or, to the experts, Holy Grandmother The Church.

Moslems should be “Enjoyers of sliced beef” or, alternatively, “Admirers of sheep and goats.”

Media members, especially sensitive to not offending anyone, have decided the most offense-free alternate descriptors of Christians are (in order):

1. Bible Thumpers

2. Jesus Freaks

3. Extremist Zealots
