    After banning the Russian Orthodox Church in the country, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is now reportedly banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which has approximately 10,000 parishes throughout the nation. With his increasing power and the ongoing hostilities in Ukraine, the government's crackdown on religion could potentially continue unchecked.

    The Babylon Bee has obtained the following list of other churches Zelensky is rumored to be considering banning:

1. The Sri Lankan Orthodox Church: No one knows if this actually exists, but Zelensky is apparently doing his best to cover all the bases.
2. Compelled Vertical Elevation Revive Community City Church: Or any church where the pastor wears skinny jeans.
3. Any church that refuses to hang up a pride flag: LGBTQIA+ Pride is the only officially sanctioned religion of NATO.
4. Country singer Eric Church: Not because of any religious threat, but strictly based on his music.
5. The church kids make with their hands when they do "here's the church, here's the steeple, open the doors, see all the people": The state strongly opposes teaching children any religious imagery.
6. Any church behind on their payments to him: You want to preach? You need to pay up!
7. The Church Lady from SNL: Reports indicate all other Dana Carvey characters are also prohibited.
8. Chick-Fil-A: Everyone knows it's a church masquerading as a fried chicken restaurant!
