A lot of atheists are survivors of bad experiences in religions. They are angry, and thus not very humorous.

Personally, I feel that life, while wonderful is also absurd. I like to laugh!

What was Jesus' favorite band? Nine Inch Nails

I am a member of Circus Fans Association of America. This brings me into contact with many professional clowns. They do take their humor seriously, but they love life an other people with a special passion. Many volunteer in hospitals bringing smiles and hope to patients young and old. We are a very upbeat organisation and show our love and support for the circus and its family of performers. Yes, send in the clowns, please!

Try watching John Safran's whole thing on his quest for the right religion. he does it with plenty of humor. he makes me laugh my head off. here is a funny sample.

I really must disagree, most of my favourite comedians are atheists, my favourite writer (Douglas Adams) described himself as a radical atheist just to make it clear how strong his thoughts were on the matter. I am not a "people" person, so avoid as much socialising as I can, but I find atheists love irony and are awesome at making jokes at their own expense.
Or in the case of Arthur Dent: He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife. (6)

You are not the only one that notices this. Which to me is hilarious. I find I am fortunate to have friends who are equally as amused by life and what people believe, including ourselves, for the good or bad. Though Juggaloes. Nobody but me thinks Juggaloes are awesome in my group of friends. And hilarious.

Oh.. Sorry, I thought your post was about politics..er never mind....again my apologizies for ..ummm intruding..bye!

There are people on here with a sense of humour including me. I have mirrors so I have to have one.

I try and fail mostly, but you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, I sound like a dork when I epic fail.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to he right

Life is a tragic comedy isn't it?

I think religion is a prime source of humorous material. Most of my friends and acquaintances are atheists and most of them are as irreverent as I am.

There are also some superb atheist comedians out there too at the moment. You don't even need to change the bible to make it funny....

Often when I try to interject humor into a religious discussion I'm thought of as rude or it derails the conversation completely. Two atheists die and go to heaven, they look at eachother, then at St. Peter. St. Peter sees the confused looks on their faces and says, "don't worry, we don't believe anything he says either."

I have a sense of humor but I do not discuss these kinds of things in my personal life. My first experience is on this site and things do seem a bit serious at times

Have you spent much time on this site? I think we have many humorous people here. Sometimes it's disguised as sarcasm, but funny. Just my opinion.

Humanist, skeptic, agnostic, atheist, etc .. recognize the harm that religion, religious dogma and religious individuals and organisations do to the world and to humanity in particular and find it difficult to see any humor in it. (IMHO)

When it comes to religion, I think being on the receiving end negates most humor.. Too, when I analyze ‘religious humor,’ it’s predicated on myths being facts. There’s humorous, and there’s pitiful … I’d label religion the latter..

As far as this crew, they’ve an edgy, phosphated ..almost gallows humor; sarcasm’s in there, too - they’ve made me grin wide

I am the funniest person you will ever meet, including doing stand up comedy.....and if you ever give me any grief about it, I will make you laugh so hard you will fall down, where I can safely kick you before coddling away.
