   I was thinking Jewish, Hinduism and then whatever Reverend Lovejoy is.   
      
   I didn't name the third since I have no idea what it is specifically, and   
   didn't really know how to group it, Protestant or Anglican or something,   
   likely an offshoot of the Church of England that came about when Henry the   
   8th needed a divorce, so he started a new religion that was kind of   
   catholic but made him the head and allowed divorce, and then that   
   splintered.   
      
   Don't ask me, my great, great grandmother married the Reverend Mr. Black   
   (just like the Kingston Trio song, but not the same guy), and he was in   
   that sort of group, but I'd have to look it up to state which one.   
      
   But I also forgot Buddhism, but I'm not sure that's really been dealt with   
   as much as Hinduism, other than that episode where Lisa goes hunting for a   
   new religion.
