Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert stood up for his religion Wednesday by creating a public relations ad that would make Catholics seem as cool as Mormons.

Politico reported Tuesday that President Barack Obama’s campaign has a plan to portray Mormon Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney as “weird.”

“I am really starting to respect that urban, rhythmic, socialist, Kenyan, secret Muslim,” Colbert joked.

“Mormons believe that Joseph Smith received golden plates from an angel on a hill, when everybody knows that Moses got stone tablets from a burning bush on a mountain,” he explained.

“But the Mormon church is looking to change its image, folks, with a PR campaign called ‘I’m a Mormon,’” Colbert reported. “This campaign makes Mormons irresistibly cool… That is awesome. What am I saying? I’m a Catholic!”

So Colbert proposed an “even cooler” Catholic ad campaign featuring a man on a skateboard, playing a guitar, holding a falcon, and giving a high five to a tiger.

In fact, it should be made into a commercial "series" with each faith and subfaith highlighted, including you crazy Atheists. ;-) The last commercial should be "We are Americans" or some other snuggly message. Could be "We are Democrats" but, wouldn't be able to get Stephen on that one.

Fight the self-righteous right with support for all faiths.
