Revision as of 14:40, 4 July 2006
Religions
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.
First Amalgamated Church
Created from the merging of major 20th Century religions - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Led by Father Changstein el Gamahl.
Robotology
Led by Preacherbot, Robotology has many customs. Sinners will be collected by the Robot Devil to spend eternity in Robot Hell, in New Jersey.
Church of Trek
A religion based on Stark Trek. By the height of this religion's membership, Germany had been renamed to "Nazi Planet Episode Land". Following or during the Star Trek Wars of the 2200s Star Trek was banned due to the amount it threatened world leaders and the church was banned, members were thrown into a volcano. The cast of the original series (excluding Leonard Nimoy's Head) and the remaining videos left the planet.
The Monks of Shubah
Believe that God exists somewhere in the depths of space. Built a powerful radio telescope in the Himalayas to try and find him. Philip J. 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.

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.

Xmas
Xmas has moved away from it origins in religion (The second coming of Jesus in 2443), largely due to Robot Santa's construction in 2801.

While both Xmas episodes have focused on Santa, the Xmas comic featured a sub-plot with the Planet Express staff performing a play about The Story of Xmas. While the actual content of the story was unclear, it seemed to be a blending of the birth of Jesus from Christianity and A Christmas Carol.
