| That's funny! |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Carl Sagan - 1996 |

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.
You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.

| I'd wager just as many comedians are religious, but there is more material in lampooning a religious majority than an atheist minority. |

I don't know if "just as many" are, but I know one who is: Robin Williams is an Episcopalian. He calls his church, "Catholic Lite—same rituals, half the guilt." So even religious comics get laugh material from religion.
