Can we go with another fictional character yet? It has been so long since Jesus was added to the lore that the fantasy of it has been waning with all these mundane saints.

I nominate Joker for, erm... you know, always putting on a smile even when getting a beating from Batman the, umm... Dark Knight, which is definitely an evil title, right?

That'll just cause more schisms as people split off to follow the various versions and incarnations of the Joker. The various sects will violently disagree on everything except the fact that it's not fucking Jared Leto.
