Just stupid. Metal is a wonderful thing and should not be mixed with such stupid shit as religion.

It would be cool, but wouldn't it need about 600,000 people to even reach 1%? And even if it does wouldn't a percentage that small be classified as other in census books? Anyways it's still an awesome idea and I hope it works out!

Bull-fucking-shit. The beauty of metal is that it cannot ultimately become a formal institution. Encouraging people to name it as their official religion, even for a laugh, pushes metal in that direction. Which is pretty friggen offensive when you think about it.

The beauty of Metal will stay intact no matter what you call it. Be it your religion, your god, your life, or your hobby, the music remains the same.
Heavy Metal is my religion, and it's my favourite genre of music. Always.

Manowar maybe should arrange a parallel campaign in USA:
Brothers of metal know no masters
Metal's our religion
Take it to the grave
Rulers of the earth
Our dawn of glory
All reborn we live again
Hold true, ye sacred army
Our last battle is at hand
Sweep this dogs from our kingdom
Bless this ground, our holy land
Holy, Holy War

MarinBG is right. This is just a bit of light-hearted fun, so just laugh at it.
It's not supposed to be analysed and taken seriously, come on people - lighten up.

Yes, it is meant to be lighthearted but still totally pathetic nonetheless.

How retarded. Why the heck do people insist on belonging to a religion? Jedi, a religion...Heavy Metal, a religion...Therefore i guess STUPIDITY should be recognized as the most common religion.

While agree with everything you say before mentioning metal "going in that direction", this is just nonsensical humor and shouldn't be taken seriously. Every metalhead knows (or should know) that this is a joke; how society views it -- be it forming an institution, as per your example -- is completely irrelevant because society has never dug deep enough to understand our culture. All this will do is provide the media with something to poke fun at for a while until it's forgotten and they move on to something else. Chances are it's going to be completely overlooked anyway. The state of heavy metal will in no way diminish as a result of this.

Acknowledging stupidity as anything but natural selection is just ironic. But it's true about people wanting to belong to a religion; it makes them feel unified, and strength can be found in numbers.
