In the United States, anything is possible, including going to mass in the simplest device. In Ivor, in the State of Virginia, the White Tail Chapel has set up original religious offices, reports the HuffPost . Every Sunday, the faithful are invited to come to communicate entirely naked.

This initiative by Pastor Allen Parker was inspired by the story of Eve and Adam. "If God did us so, how can it be bad?" He wonders, recalling that Jesus was naked at the most important moments of his life.

Nudist or outdoor masses

The pastor is convinced that nudity has a beneficial effect on the faithful, because it allows everyone to be placed on an equal footing. Himself totally naked, Allen Parker preaches his religious office every week.

More than two-thirds of Americans feel Christian, says La Presse. To attract new followers, churches are reinventing themselves and offering new concepts that are sometimes surprising. The Christian Drive-In Church in Daytona Beach, Florida, for example, allows Mass to be followed from his car parked on the grounds of an old open-air cinema.

"Churches have adopted free market principles to open new niches in spirituality," explains photographer Cyril Abad, author of a series of photos of these churches apart, in an interview with Wired . If you are a surfer, there is a church for Christian surfers. If you are a biker, there will be a biker church. "
