===Other religions=== Other religions are depicted or mentioned in passing in other episodes. In the episode "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]", [[Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] complains about Bender's devotion to Robotology, saying, "If only he had joined a mainstream religion, like [[Oprah Winfrey|Oprahism]] or [[Louisiana Voodoo|Voodoo]]". In the season 2 episode "[[I Second That Emotion (Futurama)|I Second That Emotion]]", Fry, Leela, and Bender are shown around the sewer mutants' village. Fry notices a large gold-plated [[ICBM]] on the altar of the cathedral and exclaims "Wow! You guys worship an unexploded nuclear bomb?" to which one of the mutants responds "Yeah, but nobody is that observant. It's mostly a Christmas and Easter thing." The altar and the bomb are a reference to the film ''[[Beneath the Planet of the Apes]]'', in which the subterranean mutants worship a nuclear bomb. The season 4 episode "[[Where No Fan Has Gone Before]]", presents the situation of a television show becoming elevated to the status of a religion in the form of the "Church of Trek", where devotees of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' worship the characters and attend services dressed as officers and aliens from the show (in 23rd or 24th century). In the second ''Futurama'' direct-to-video film, ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'', Fry becomes the pope of a new religion which worships the interdimensional planet-sized tentacle monster named Yivo (pronouns: shkle/shkler/shklim), who brainwashed the inhabitants of Earth by attaching shkler<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://theinfosphere.org/Yivo|title=Yivo - The Infosphere, the Futurama Wiki|website=theinfosphere.org|access-date=2018-12-16}}</ref> tentacles to their brains, before taking them onto shklim, which resembled [[heaven]]. In the third film ''[[Bender's Game]]'', Professor Farnsworth invokes the name of "the all-powerful Atheismo". In the season 7 episode "[[Free Will Hunting]]", when Bender walks throughout Chapek 9 looking to discover his never-programmed free-will unit, he happens upon a religious monastery led by a monk named Ab-bot; the abbot takes him in and converts him into his religion called "Order of the Binary Singularity" believing in the promise "Creatrix" or Mom will give them free-will units.
