Church of the Holy Donut
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The Church of the Holy Donut, founded in the 1970s, is the alternate name, bequeathed by radio talk show host Bernie Ward, for his regular Sunday morning radio program, "God Talk". Church of the Holy Donut services are broadcast live from San Francisco, California radio station KGO 810 AM, a 50,000 watt clear frequency channel, on Sundays from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m.
Members of the Church of the Holy Donut congregation, numbering in the thousands, are united by a philosophy based on the premise "all religions are based on dough." Each new member of the sect is given a numerical designation, in the order of their induction, during on-air sermons, as a token for their acknowledgement economic power lies at the root of all religions.
