I notice atheists are always making fun of theists, but theists are always praying for atheists. No humor what so ever!! What's up?
Peace and Love

True, Theists think everything is funny in a Bob Saget kind of way, which is about as funny as a drowned baby. Atheists have a much fuller field to harvest from. Dirty humor and the humor that comes from picking on Delusional theists, on top of run of the mill humor.

You obviously don't know very many theists. The primary difference between the two in humor is that the atheist's jokes would more often need to be bleeped if broadcast on radio or TV, often when telling essentially the same joke.
There was a double funeral, two brothers died in the same accident, one was a Christian and the other not. A third viewed his athiest brother and said to his mother, "Aw, mom, he's all dressed up but has no place to go." Then when viewing the other brother, "Mom! Such a waste, you put his best tie on him! I was hoping to get it."

No.
It's been my experience, both on the forums and in real life, that the theists' sense of humour is at least as good as the atheists...
And most of what you consider "making fun" of theists looks to me to be more along the lines of savage, angry, & bitter mockery.
(For the record, I no longer consider myself a Christian, and in fact turned down communion at the service that closed my daughter's Lutheran bible camp this past Sunday, even though that risked embarassing her...)
Edit:
Evan, that is a fascinating insight... but please don't hate your parents. Even if they are a**holes about religion & faith, they still love you, and simply want the best for you; please cut them some slack, OK??? Thanks...

Atheists often don't take religion seriously enough to discuss it in any way other than with humor.
Fervent believers, on the other hand, often take it so seriously that the idea of laughing about it never even occurs to them.

Ah, you've missed Little Morphing Annie. She jokes with them and curiously some seem to like it. Who knew?
I think at times we just have radically different ideas about what is humorous. ;o)

That is only here. I think in real life people of church have some humor...unless the pastor came to give the sermon dressed in a monkey outfit!!
