Takes the worst of religion and makes it funny

Taking a weekly dive into the harm done by religion, you get a diatribe (angry rant on a specific topic), a hilarious breakdown of religious news stories, and a variety of entertaining c-segments. Check it out, you won't be disappointed (unless you're religious)
