Bad Religion was formed in Los Angeles , California, in 1980 by high school students Greg Graffin , Jay Bentley , Jay Ziskrout , and Brett Gurewitz . Their first public performance was playing six or eight songs at a Fullerton, California , or Santa Ana, California , warehouse opening for Social Distortion . Graffin has said that the name “Bad Religion” came about when the then- adolescent members of the band wanted to “piss people off”.
