One thing that has surprised me in my journey away from religion is how much of a role comedy played given how much I love well-reasoned arguments. I used to think of comedy as the opposite of that – hyperbolic and sarcastic to get a cheap laugh from the masses. I can now appreciate comedy, which comes in a number of forms, because it can use language to point out truths by evoking emotion. How comedy played a role in my loss of faith is this: it pointed out the absurdity of Christianity. I think a reason there are so few conservative and Christian comedians is because they buy into absurdity and are blind to it. That’s not to say that there isn’t absurdity outside of conservatism and Christianity, but in America that’s where the bulk of it lies. With comedy there is nothing that is off limits, and the limits placed by Christianity make it hard for the genius of comedy to be realized in that context.
Here are some routines that brilliantly point out the absurdity of Christianity as we know it(warning: adult language):
vincible ignorance 
I love humor. I love irrelevant humor, and I think the ability to laugh at our self makes us more advanced and more human. If there is or is not a God is a different debate than if there is energy sources we don’t understand. Still I prefer science to mythology when talking of the universe. Thanks for a fun post. Hugs
