Well, comedy double really, as it’s a tag team effort.
Here’s the children from the under-rated BBC family sitcom Outnumbered, sticking it to the vicar and demolishing Christianity in less than 5 minutes. Tell us vicar, what would Jesus do?
UPDATE: A topical song from Fry and Laurie. Sadly Stephen Fry isn’t really acting there; unlike Hugh Laurie he really doesn’t have a musical bone in his body.
Take that, sky-fairy freaks:
The UK’s first atheist advertising campaign has beaten its funding target in less than 24 hours, raising nearly nine times the amount needed to have its posters on bendy buses.
Like many staunch atheists the only thing that might ever make me revert to churchgoing youth is the beauty of sacred music. Nothing imparts a sense of the numinous like Mozart’s Requiem, for instance, whether you’re religious or not. So my fellow atheists are going to have to do a damned sight better than this atheist’s anthem if they want to persuade anyone of their rightness.
Cute, but it’s no Handel’s Messiah:

Holy Cat: Jesus spotted on kitten’s fur Updated: 7/29/2008 9:59:39 PM
A kitten is being called a “Holy Cat,” or a feline with Jesus on her side? literally.
Ten weeks ago, a family from Goshen, Indiana rescued two kittens after their mother abandoned them.
The family noticed one of the kittens, Sissy, had markings on her fur that look like Jesus.
Whether or not you see it doesn’t matter to the family. They believe it’s a sign of good things to come.

I’m going out into the garden as I can’t take much more of this stupidity. At least plants aren’t greedy, gullible or stupid. (Well, nasturtiums are, but everyone knows they’re the chavs of the legume family.)
Why the dancing cat illustration? Because it’s cute. Because it’s a cat. What more reason do I need?
