Standup comedy is massively anti-religious. Same in the USA?

it's the same here as it is everywhere. many are dirty, some aren't. i think comedy and comedians are only following the popular culture that they're in, playing to what the audience wants to hear. Christians are in the minority, and so Christian comedians are in the minority. once the audience stops laughing at anti-religious jokes, then the comedians will go away.

Somewhat anti-religious, although it isn't a topic most stand up comedians address. Americans are more apt to laugh at jokes about race relations, sex relations, and the TSA.

ps- easy to think of three stand up comedians from us who make fun of religion a great deal: Bill Mahr, Bill Hicks & Carlin.

In comedians in America, the topic of religion really doesn't matter. However George Carlin was a biggie anti-theist/atheist.

Yes in Ireland we always take the mick out of people like the priests and the holy religion but we also respect it in a way.

It is very weird but you would understand it if you saw it.

<<Is a exceptionally religious person the terrific person to symbolize country's hobbies?>> There are not any "exceptionally" religious applicants. <<would desire to our President snip upon its human beings.>> Neither Catholic candidate needs to legislate his faith. <<isn't that like what Iran does?>> No. <<is this what Santorum is easily like?>> under no circumstances.
