Poe's Law relates to fundamentalism, and the difficulty of identifying actual parodies thereof.

Poe's law also works in reverse: real fundamentalism can also be indistinguishable from parody fundamentalism.Recently I stumbled across the video below posted in the Christianity subreddit at reddit.com (my home at home), and had a hard time believing that it wasn't done by an Atheist. Watch the video and let me know what you think by taking the poll below. Enjoy!
