Today is the feast of the Annunciation, once known as Lady Day and (falling as it does, not by coincidence, on or around the vernal equinox) for many centuries the first day of the new year.
As someone who was born into non-denominational "religion", who adored their Baptist-leaning grandparents (my grandmother would have said "me too" to your Anti-Christ/Catholic summation), was "baptized" Lutheran as an adolescent (forced by my mother to receive a private Lutheran school fee waived). I shook off religion and church (beyond the Christmas holiday) in my twenties, preferring Agnostic to Athiest. And now, I belong to a UU church where all beliefs or no beliefs are welcome. Anyway, that's all to say that I think your poem is brilliant - especially the notion of God becoming a cell and the glutenous "body of Christ". Great work!
