about

A project for Abe Goren's Religion and Popular culture class at UVM.
This project imagines what it would be like if Mr. Burns, the villain of the simpsons, had a religion devoted to him. If he did, these would be the hymns.

These hymns encompass Mr Burns' massive ego, massive wealth, and desire to have things done cheap, IE one person is recording them.
It is unclear whether he or Smithers wrote the lyrics, I think that it would be funnier if Smithers wrote it.

The religious liturgy is most similar to that of Western Christianity, as are most "parody religions" in American media. Western Christianity serves as a touchstone for religious movements as covered in western media.
