Humor and God

[Cartoonist]

There has been some scholarly research as to why conservatives aren't funny. The consensus is usually along the lines of speaking truth to power vs making fun of the downtrodden.

I think a similar argument can be made for atheists and believers. I see it here on DU. There have been many funny threads recently started by the vermin in this group. I don't ever recall seeing something funny posted by the righteous. Is it a case of no holds barred freedom of atheism vs the constant looking over one's shoulder lest one offend their God?

Here's a short list

Mark Twain
George Carlin
Bill Maher
John Cleese
Sarah Silverman
Charlie Chaplin

Name some theist comedians who are actually funny.
