From Sigmund’s wonderful site, Sneer Review (do check it regularly; it’s full of hilarious anti-accommodationist sneers). John Gray’s piece (post below) fills a lot of these squares:
Accommodationist bingo

Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
Can I nitpick that it isn’t a 5×5 grid? I’m sure we can come up with four or five more*.
* Five if you can come up with something so ubiquitous that it counts as a ‘Free Space’.
“Shouting at people won’t change their minds”
Hitler! (I noticed Stalin and Mao, but perhaps Hitler could get his own square).
Aren’t bingo cards usually 5×5? Surely we can come up with extra items for the missing 5 squares.
I’ll start: NOMA.
Strident.
Darwin’s deathbed conversion/Darwin was religious
It takes more faith to disbelieve than to believe.
Spirituality
Religious “truth” more true than truth.
Yeah, NOMA should be the free square.
Also, how about “scientism?”
Different ways of knowing.
Ecumenism
Exegesis
Hermeneutical Theory. Sorry – should’ve made those one post, but they keep coming in stits and farts.
You sank my battleship!

What, no Hitler? If Stalin and Mao get a mention I think der Fuhrer should be in there somewhere.
Religion isn’t about “belief” in a laundry list of facts.
I agree. Facts have nothing to do it.
What, no square for Templeton Foundation? I guess that would have made it too easy to get bingo.
Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin (certainly earned his own square), It’s a Metaphor, and either Templeton Foundation or Scientism
Yah, not actually a fan of sneer review after looking at it. Thanks anyway. Always interesting to see what people think is funny.

If you were trying to make atheists look stupid I’m afraid it backfired, friend.
You know, now that I see your humorous rebuttal I realize my atheism is unfounded. I see the light. Jesus is lord…..or not.
Wait — is that what the Christers have been chanting? “Jesus is lord”?
Damn.
And all this time I thought it had something to do with cultured dairy protein and rendered pig fat….

Uh, uh, uh. No puns.
Who, me? It would never ever occur to me to make a pun. Not in a million beers.
Cheers,

John Gray? I looked at the card and thought “Unscientific America just blacks out that card.”
We need more cards; “Immanuel Kant” is another one the apologists like to trot out. Some even dare mention Popper – but perhaps that is a historical revisionism campaign against K. Popper.
Why is Thomas Kuhn on there?
Since it now has a Wikipedia page, we’re going to need to add Possibilianism.
Of course, Eagleman is an atheist. He says our ignorance is too vast to commit to atheism. What he fails to understand is that atheism is just you end up buy default by failing to commit to theistic claims. Eagleman is completely an atheist in practice. He never once has considered the influence of spirits and the activity of God-rays in his research.
That’s not my God.
‘ACCOMODATIONIST [sic] BINGO’
I love it, but “Accommodationist” has two “m”s.
