Zombies try to eat the brains of non-zombies, but end up creating even more zombies in the process. Couldn't this be seen to be a colorful description of how religion spreads itself from person to person? Those who are not infected with zombitis (aka dead but with the reanimating zombie virus), are the only ones really living, whereas the faith zombies seam sort of alive but are really dead - driven by the sole purpose of infecting (aka converting) non-faith-zombies.

...couldn't vampires be seen the same way?

Most horror stories, have their roots in serious thought. Frankenstein was prophetic. (it address the issues of organ transplant, cloning, abortion, and many other modern problems that were not obvious to the general public when it was written) Dracula is about a selfish love, that doesn't include family, or community.
I've seen people, that walk around with 'tomb stones in their eyes' (Jimi Hendrix). And they do seem to attract each other, and form into groups.
I think one of the spookiest things I've ever read is, "Let the dead, bury the dead." This is foreshadowing of imminent doom, to the max. I am curious, as to why Jesus turned away from them, allowing them to dig their own grave.
I've read that early Christianity was considered a death cult in Rome. It has something to do with the catacombs.

Obviously.
Brain eating christians who are dead but still walking around trying to spread their undead message. I think that's because they follow Jesus, who walked around after he died with holes in his hands and feet and a great gaping wound in his side... Scary! Now thousands of years later the undead he infected run around infecting others, nailing themselves to crosses and feeding themselves to the lions.
That's why I wear a christian-proof outfit when I go out among the drooling zombies!

That's a good metaphor except no zombie or vampire has ever told me that I'm going to hell.

I think it could also be said that its a metaphor for the spreading of crablice and other sorts of venereal problems.

And the faith-zombies can't run. Eerie.

I see your analogy... similar to Yahoo Answers...the more you answer, the more (meaningless) points you win. But probably even closer to the point, it's kind of like in the old days when we used to play pin-ball and when you win a certain amount of points, your prize is... MORE GAMES! Therefore, religion is POINTLESS!
Thanks.

Sort of. It is a mock reference for All Soul's Day.
