All hail the bacon sarnie.
Membership of the United Church of Bacon, whose motto is ‘Because Bacon is real’, has trebled in the past three months to just over 12,000.
Meat lovers are flocking to the religion which is now offering weddings, funerals and baptisms for free.
The mocking religion was founded in Las Vegas by atheist John Whiteside in 2010 as a protest to fight discrimination against atheists.
Followers given titles such as ‘Bacon Prophet’, ‘Institutionalized Thought Leader’ and ‘Funkmaster General’.
A statement on the United Church of Bacon website reads: ‘Officiates in the United Church of Bacon can perform legal weddings for those who don’t want God in their ceremony.

‘We’ll bring creative suggestions to make your wedding even more magical. Or if you already have a plan, we will follow your lead.’
The United Church of Bacon was slammed by religious groups after putting up several billboards around Las Vegas
But John said: ‘We enjoy people mocking us. We mock ourselves. This isn’t supposed to offend anyone.’
