Picture the following scenario... You are dyed in the wool Atheist/Agnostic that embraces the hard sciences, scientific discovery and progress. Your wife/husband, significant other, etc... is religious and you would like to find a congregation that serves both your needs.
You could choose from the following denominations or invent your own...
A. "The Church Of Our Lady Of Perpetual Motion"
B. "Episcopaleontologists"
Any Others?
When I lived in Phoenix I used to drive by Our Lady of Perpetual Help, but I annoyed my wife by always referring to it as Our Lady of Perpetual Heat.
A woman converts to a certain Protestant sect and a week later marries a renowned New England loudspeaker designer [I'm surprised I even need to explain this ]
They're obviously members of Seventh Day Adventist congregation.

A certain dissenting disciplinarian: a protestant dedominatrix?
I heard many congregants complained they never had a quiet sermon here because the preacher was all about "fire and brimstone".

I heard of that congregation, they had trouble back in the late 60's early 70's with some of their young congregants playing Beatles records backwards on the turntables and getting demonic messages? And starting some rumor about what the letters "JBL" stood for?
So...
An Agnostic Opthalmologist that specializes in presbyopia and dry tear ducts and his Christian wife start a religion, most of his patients wind up in the congregation.
You guessed it... "Presbytearians" (drum roll) Exit stage right....
Anyone ever hear of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church?
There must be a encephalitis/mosquito or hydrocephalus [water on the brain] connection in there somewhere...
Or the National Association of Lollypop Engineers and the Catholick Church. [okay, well I tried to keep it clean]
Looking at my last post (should be directly above) I realize it might cause some confusion.. "This is an easy one" is not the name of the congregation the clean fertility clinic owner would belong to.
I made that statement as a welcome for someone to solve the riddle, put the piece in the puzzle, etc...
"This is an easy one" might be too suggestive as the name of a fertility clinic congregation if you where to interpret it the wrong way anyhow....
