What's your favorite standup comedian's rant on religion?
Can we put Carlin and now Gervais in the hall of fame and ineligible for inclusion in this thread? ( I want something I haven't seen or heard!)

Here's my favorite two podcasters--Bill Burr and Marc Maron (they're both deeply flawed and fucked up--like me) discussing that shit:

Maron's kinda a Chris Hedges guy, and I don't buy his (Hedges')bullshit wrt religion, but it's ok.

Burr's like a former beer-swilling moderate that's had enough and gone to my side.

NSFW.

Who's your favorite?

2. Bill Maher has some good rants.
Say, the movie Religulous.

Granted, he's not quite up there with George Carlin as far as funniness level, but I got a kick out of him.

3. I had the chance to see Carlin live in Las Vegas.
He was the greatests.

Beside him I enjoyed Julia Sweeney's "Letting go of god" and anything about Eddie Izzard.

4. Dara O'Briain, hands down
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0123R6vjIoE God Moments, and demolishing the idea of intelligent design.

He's also got great bits on Catholicism that had me laughing so hard I scared the cat.

12. I like the highly thumbed up comment for that vid.
Edited Translated from the YouTube version of english:

Oh, you're agnostic. So you think there could be a Batman, but you don't know....
