Laughing at Religion

Written By Vivian Asimos

This week, Vivian Asimos and Aled Thomas chat about comedy, religion and popular culture. We specifically chat about the Book of Mormon musical, and South Park's approach to comedy and Scientology. We talk atheist comedy, and discuss why religion is often the target of many jokes. We also talk about blasphemy and comedy, with reference to the depiction of Muhammad and the Charlie Hebdo comics.
