| San Bruno man founds Church of Reality
SAN BRUNO Seconds after Marc Perkel's mind had shifted into a higher state of thinking, he had a revelation: The Church of Reality. Perkel was relaxing alone at home nine years ago when the light bulb went on. "I was smoking a little weed, and I was thinking about religion," said the now 52-year-old realist. "The name kind of popped in my head. But I had a hard time grasping the idea that no one (had) thought about it. Quite frankly, that aspect (has) never gone away." The next morning, The Church of Reality was born. "If it's real, we believe in it," said Perkel, who is self-employed and works in Web hosting and spam filtering. "Anything true will stand up to scrutiny. We're not a faith-based religion. We're doubt-based. The Church of Reality is a new kind of religion." The American Religious Identification Survey, performed in 2001 by the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, found that the non-believer population at that time comprised roughly 14 percent of Americans.
