Religion appears in many episodes of Futurama, though they're all fictional, except for Vodou.
Religions
Church of Trek
- See Church of Trek.
This is the religion for fans of Star Trek.
First Amalgamated Church
|
Created from the merging of major 20th century religions - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism as well as agnosticism. Led by Father Changstein El-Gamal.
Oprahism
A mainstream religion, probably started by, or for, Oprah Winfrey.
Religion of Mutants
Over Christmas (suggesting they mutated before the second coming of Jesus) and Easter the Sewer Mutants gather in church to worship an unexploded nuclear bomb.
Robotology
- Main article: Robotology
A religion whose members are exclusively robots, Robotology has many customs. Sinners will be collected by the Robot Devil to spend eternity in Robot Hell, New Jersey. The religious text of Robotology is The Good Book 3.0
Robot Judaism
Believe that Robot Jesus was a well built robot, but not their Messiah. They keep kosher - no shellfish or pork! In traditional 20th century Jewish fashion, young robots go through a rite of passage, the aptly named, "Bot-mitzvah."
Salvation Army
In "Xmas Time Is Fear", as a part of the armed forces, they collect weapons to give to the defenceless so they can be safe on Xmas Eve. However in "Robot Santa's Little Helpers", they behave much like they do in the 21st Century, except that they get donations at gunpoint.
Space Catholicism
Led by the Space Pope. Nothing else known.
The Monks of Dschubba
- Main article: Monks of Dschubba
Believe that God exists somewhere in the depths of space. Built a powerful radio telescope in the Himalayas to try and find him. Fry managed to reach a being similar to this, who then sent Bender back to Earth. The Monks have been searching for 700 years. Strictly non-violent.
Vodou/Voodoo
Vodou has become a mainstream religion by the 31st century. This may have something to do with the increased number of zombies and may have been brought on by the birth of Zombie Jesus. This is the only not fictional religion.
Yivo's Religion
- Main article: Yivo's Religion
This was created by Yivo and many humans joined it, lead by Fry.
Religious Figures
Space Pope
|
|

Regular Jesus
Info: The standard Christian version of Jesus apparently exists alongside (but likely separate from) the zombie version. People in the future know enough about him that they recognize Zoidberg's Jesus costume as such (and don't call him "Zombie Jesus").

Appeared: 2ACV01
Events
Origin of the Universe
The origin of the universe is a big part of most religions. It seems that Nibblonians had already existed for 17 years before the universe was created.

Star Wars trek
- Main article: Star Wars trek
Xmas
