I was watching Comedy Central recently and saw stand-up by comedian Bret Ernst.

Watch the clip below… around the 0:49 mark.

For a moment, let’s put aside the fact that Ernst is completely wrong about atheists being “responsible for 300,000,000 deaths.”

Usually, it’s religion that fodder for comedians. You don’t hear a lot of maintream comedians pick on atheists (Dane Cook‘s joke being an exception) because, I suspect, so many of them are atheists themselves.

I’m curious what your reaction was to the video.

Were you angry? Defensive? Is your reaction any different, you think, from religious people who listen to George Carlin?
