A religious group in New Jersey is willing to do anything to save the faith, including constructing a fully functional McDonald’s inside a church. Because nothing says Jesus like biting into a saucy Big Mac....

Created by Paul Di Lucca, creative director of the church branding agency Lux Dei Design, the McMass Project is the messiah to this generation’s apathetic churchgoers. Through a crowdfunding site, the multi-denominational group hopes to raise $1 million to build a church with a McDonald’s franchise inside.

Di Lucca told NBC that “Christianity is unable to capture modern audiences.” He attributes this to a lack of innovation and lack of design thinking within the church communities.

The McMass site reports that 3 million people leave the faith each year, causing thousands of churches to close down. On the other hand, 7o million people eat every day at McDonald’s. They believe that by combining the two, they can not only restore faith to their members, but also unite the community.

Just don't go on Friday or during Lent. All they'll have is the Filet-O-Fish.

3. "Christianity is unable to capture modern audiences"

She hasn't read the business section lately about how McDonald's has a similar problem...

5. Can you turn the water into McWine?

(Mickey D's in Germany actually have McBier! )

9. Well, McScheissBier anyway

Contrary to what you Americans think, Germany is perfectly capable of producing Miller Lite-grade beer. Which is what McDonald's serves.

6. I guess Paul Di Lucca got some himself publicity with this. Meanwhile it looks like McDonald's

went after the project for trademark infringement.

7. Hope he plans to disenfranchise the bigotry, hypocracy & intolerance that's chasing folks away as he

open a new type of church franchise.
