Slate has a fascinating look at being an atheist in America. Among stories of shunning and discrimination sits this gem of ridiculousness, from a former drug addict:

She couldn’t babysit as an atheist, but she could when she was on crack? “Yes.” I laughed, but it is hard to think of anything less funny.

It is funny, but only because it points out just how awful people can be. So, not funny *ha ha* so much as funny *sob*.
