The Onion's World Peace-Inducing Religion Reporting (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)

First Posted: 7/19/11 05:17 PM ET   |   Updated: 7/19/11 05:41 PM ET

HuffPost Religion would like to pay homage to America's finest Pulitzer-deserving news source: The Onion.

With a finger on the pulse of American and global (dis)belief, The Onion consistently churns out the hard-hittingest, holier-than-thou religion reporting and commentary.

Inspired by the lead story in this week's print edition ("Vatican Reverses Stance On Gay Marriage After Meeting Tony And Craig"), we decided to compile the best of this paper's God-centric gab.

It was tough. The Onion's archives are an abundant treasure trove of divinely inspired investigation. From getting the scoop on Jesus' conversion to Islam to exposing the Dalai Lama's history of violence, there really is no rival to this institution of pristine journalistic integrity.

So without further delay, since the end times are oh so near, here are our favorite religion reports from The Onion.

The whole Onion collection on Religion is great, but "Peaceful Decoy Muslims" is outstandin­g: Brilliant satire combined with the flawless logic of a witch hunt - and the beautiful lampoon of cable news outlets is jaw-droppi­ng. I hope the Onion continues to identify the insanity that seems to be gripping the West in general and the US in particular and hold it up to ridicule for a long time to come!

There were some funny ones, but that one didn't have the ring of truth. Fact is we are spending vast amounts of resources and people's time, putting through airport security checks people we know are zero threat, like 80 year old grandma, because we do not want to appear to be singling out a specific ethnic/rel­igious group.

It is easy to make fun of religious people because they are ignorant.

and their built-in persecutio­n complex means they enjoy it, too!
(it's a defense mechanism built into all the cults).

deep down, they all feel called to match that drooling Mel Gibson crucifixio­n masochism.­..

No its easy to make fun of religious people, because religious people make it incredibly easy.

It's easy to make fun of religion because it is based upon ignorance.
