Fictional history
The Church of Humanity preaches that man is created in
white supremacist religious groups such as the Christian Identity movement.[1]
The Church of Humanity crucified some mutants on the lawn on the
Jubilee. Archangel used his healing blood to revive Magma and Jubilee, but, apparently, Skin, among several others didn't have the same luck. The X-Men investigated and found the headquarters of the Church of Humanity.[2]
