Anyone who is interested, can become a minister in the Universal Life Church, on-line, for free, at their web site:

In many states, clergy have certain privileges, obviously an unfair advantage over non theists, who, up to now have had difficulty becoming clergypersons. Many denominations actually demanded study and learning. Not any more!
In general, I think it's a good idea because it devalues the whole idea of "clergy," makes a mockery of religion, and could result in some real benefits to you personally.
You can even print out your ordination certificate as soon as you sign up. I did.
Ya doesn't has to, but you can call me the Rev. Greg from now on.
<heh heh>
