Line 7:
Compare with [[Church Militant]], which is this trope with the emphasis flipped, and [[All Monks Know Kung Fu]], when a Christian monk is presumed to be a martial artist just because he is... well, [[Did Not Do the Research|a monk]].

* [[Alice Cooper]] has been rather open about his Christian faith since the 90s, even if he doesn't talk about it a whole lot. He still chops the heads off of mannequins at shows and plays up the act.▼
* An example this troper has read of second-hand: a Holy Roller preacher in the United States who was observed by a young boy to carry a .45 M1911 automatic pistol, i.e. US GI issue. When asked why a preacher would carry a .45 automatic, he replied that it was because they didn't make it in .50 calibre. (They do now.)▼
