According to CNN, “Britain recognized Druidry, a neo-pagan belief system that believes nature is its supreme being, as a religion for the first time and gave it charitable status on Saturday.” The question we have to ask is whether CNN is trying to make fun of Druids by using this picture or whether there’s simply no way to avoid making fun of Druids since every picture is going to feature some guy dressed up like Merlin.
