This website will look at different religions in the television show Seinfeld.

Seinfeld often displays a satirical attitude toward religion throughout the series. The show presents various religions – showcasing their belief systems, hierarchies, and events (i.e., death ceremonies, marriage, leaders, etc.).Although Seinfeld presents these religions through a lens of ridicule, they do not go beyond the realm of comedy in their representations. While they may attack the foundation of religion, they also attack other aspects of society just as firmly.  For example, Seinfeld shows examples of romantic relationships, public figures, sexuality, ethnicity, and many other in a satirical light.
