I disagree. If somebody holds a belief not supported by the evidence, that belief deserves to be challenged. Religious beliefs don't get a free pass just because they're religious beliefs.

   First of all most people, especially including atheists, make decisions with inadequate evidence all over the place. It really isn't practical to put every decision to a thorough investigation. There are usually several unknown quantities and no time or means to get them all. Life itself includes a vast unknown and speculation about it is normal.

   Secondly the "atheist" definition of "evidence" is often incorrect. They really are not the unbiased "scientists" they imagine themselves to be. The attitude they know more about "evidence" than others is b___s___ that is really annoying and shows how little they really know about science.

   Just saying because you deserve to be challenged too.

The topic is about being irreverent toward religion and if it is okay to mock. First off, God can take it, after all, he didn't create religion.

Some jokes at the bishop's expense is not an evil thing, yet there was a time when such humor would land a person in jail or worse. Any person who thinks we should resurrect blasphemy laws should be mocked vigorously, especially in the secular West.

And Christianity makes a mockery of Judaism just as Judaism mocks Christianity...because they both can't be true and noble if you think that only one of them is the True Faith. Same with any religion vs another.
