A Comical Slant on Religion 

"Atheism is a very hot issue nowadays." the thelaughtrack.com trailer reads, "Atheists get called arrogant and labeled as depressing jerks who require as much faith as the religious, which is quite absurd coming from those who believe in tricky, talking snakes and gods with low self-esteem demanding praise. Atheists aren’t uninterested in the big questions; in fact, many are very interested in science and philosophy. And although there have been countless notable atheists in the past, including many of America’s founding fathers, it’s always nice to recognize the funniest of the modern free thinkers. We watched many videos and here are our decided 11 Funniest Famous Atheist Comedians." Comics include: Lewis Black, David Cross, Eddie Izzard, Adam Carolla, Pat Condell, Janeane Garofalo, Billy Connolly, Bill Maher, Ricky Gervais, Tim Minchin and George Carlin -- and Bill Hicks who gets an Honorable Mention because he isn’t an atheist but apparently is vehemently "against organized religion and stupidity". http://thelaughtrack.com/2009/06/22/11-funniest-famous-comedians-who-att...

Dave Allen on Religion

The late, great Dave Allen was a "practising atheist" with a wonderfully relaxed style. He would sit on a chair, with a cigarette and a glass of whiskey in his hand. Many of his most entertaining and endearing sketches were concerned with religion; he particularly liked having a go at the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxo81Ok9Urk www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZp2A2Gy0aI www.youtube.com/watch?v=vku_fKAioUw
