Incorrect assumptions of hate, they are misunderstood and have no relation to any group in reality. To say so is to spread dis information. Its a comic. Tags: Reverted references removed |
Parenthetical was completely unnecessary in the first place, but also generalized to a point that it wasn't even correct. |

Fictional history
[edit]The Church of Humanity preaches that man is created in God's image, but mutants are not. They are the more radical offshoot of the Friends of Humanity anti-mutant group, but with a religious discourse, similar to the Purifiers, the followers of Reverend William Stryker. The Church of Humanity is similar to real-life white supremacist religious groups such as the Christian Identity movement.[1]
The Church of Humanity crucified some mutants on the lawn on the X-Mansion including Skin, Magma and Jubilee. Archangel used his healing blood to revive Magma and Jubilee, but, apparently, Skin, among several others didn't have the same luck. The X-Men investigated and found the headquarters of the Church of Humanity.[2]
