Do you see this as an insult?
This is a MadTV skit that I just found on the web.
http://www.brentrasmussen.com/log/node/712 I for one do find it kind of offensive. I believe it puts atheists in a bad light when they are already direspected amongst many Americans. It is MadTV however, so it was probably meant to be offensive.

"Touch by an Atheist" was not a clear cut offensive sketch. Yeah there are elements in the skeptic camp that would be considered unfair with material from the believers camp reflecting the same perception. Believers are portrayed as narrow-minded, bigoted, naive, childlike, judgemental, and self-righteous. Skeptics are viewed as using their reason to tear apart sincere beliefs/worldview, as being all strong atheists with some hint of the self-righteous found in the believers camp. Provided if MAD TV were to do a re-run of this episode with a more inflamatory approach we would've seen all people's beliefs treated with disrespect, or if one side were favored over the other.

after all, if they take the skit too seriously then that means they can't take a joke (or understand what was going on).

It's not offensive, but I despise MadTV.

I just felt like it put atheists in a bad light. Not all atheists are hedonists that go to the 'titty bars by the airports'

I didnt think it was offensive to atheist but it was probably offensive to theists, i thought the bit with the pope was good.

I don't find it insulting, but then, I don't object to people going to titty bars, either.

Considering what type of show it is, no.
I mean, Family Guy is one of my favorite shows.  Aslong as it's not meant to be taken seriously, I don't care.
