Three New York City residents are facing criminal charges after cops found them clinging to their gun and religion.

Following a traffic stop early Monday in Brooklyn, NYPD officers discovered marijuana, a knife, and an open container of alcohol inside a vehicle occupied by Andre Allen, 34, Santina Ferguson, 21, and driver DeShawn Thompson, 24.

The cops also located what appeared to be a leather-bound Bible (King James version). However, upon closer inspection, officers discovered that the purported Good Book was actually a lockbox hiding a loaded Glock handgun.

The fake Bible is seen in the above and below NYPD photos.

Thompson, Ferguson, and Allen were each charged with criminal possession of a weapon and marijuana possession.
