The church kids though she was a fruit loop.

How was that a protest and not a regularly attending Christian that got an extra dose of the Holy Spirit that morning?
It was an intelligent protest. I'd expect it to go straight over your head.

Yes, so intelligent the congregation dismissed her as someone who's insane.

Great example.

I like the idea of dressing up as a priest. A bit of a trojan horse. Sneaky!

Perhaps another variant would be to make pictures of some of the more nasty parts of the bible and sell them as art (probably not many takers of course).

Lot sleeping with his daughters.
The hebrews committing genocide on the Moabites(?), while God in the heavens looks on with glee.
A family tree starting with Adam/Eve and going down to brothers having sex with sisters.
Noah's Ark with dinosaurs on it.

Probably a lot more.

Following on from the Thor idea i posted, you could also dress up as a viking and actively try and convert people to your *cough* religion. Tell people how if the die gloriously in battle the Valkyrie will come and take them off to Valhalla or Freya's Hall, but if they live lives as cowards they will burn in the fires of Hel.

Matt Dillahunty from the Atheist Experience did an experiment and dressed as a priest for a day, and he was floored by the amount of respect that got him, especially in the strip club he went to.

Nice one of the strip club. I wonder if they offered him boys instead of girls???
