Why Christianity?You could think that if they don't have Google where you are.
Meme was coined by Richard Dawkins as a self replicating idea, analogous to a gene, subject to the same forces of natural selection.
It's a really powerful idea that has somehow come to mean a jpg with words.
My favourite meme is Christianity.
My current favourite cool thing to have on t-shirt is
Surely all religion qualifies.

My meme would be all the facepalms and double facepalms, but not the cat facepalms.
Serendipitously, I've created my own:

But I had to pick one, as the question asked for a single meme. The concept "religion" isn't a meme, nor is "all religions" a meme. Each religion is a meme, so I had to choose.
And I picked the one that is endemic in the UK and I was raised in, because if I picked any other one it might have given the impression that I thought Christianity wasn't a meme, but Islam (for example) was.
Turns out whichever one I picked would be met with suspicion

Why cant the concept of religion be a meme ( I don't understand memes very well)...it seems to be perfect. An idea that is fashioned by social input, adapted and spread
Memes are for the weak minded who can't think for themselves.
Ah, ok, I see your point.
