http://abcnews.go.com/US/serpent-handling-west-virginia-pastor-dies-snake-bite/story?id=16459455#.T8aXI9Wvj55A "serpent-handling" West Virginia pastor died after his rattlesnake bit him during a church ritual, just as the man had apparently watched a snake kill his father years before.
Pentecostal pastor Mark Wolford, 44, hosted an outdoor service at the Panther Wildlife Management Area in West Virginia Sunday, which he touted on his Facebook page prior to the event.

I've said it before and I'll say it here: I don't want to see the end of religion at the point of a gun. I wouldn't take or vote to take religion away from anyone.
But I wouldn't mind seeing it die a natural death as its' proponents either get educated or move on in some other way.
