It's not comic relief when they're attacking school standards, spreading deliberate propaganda, and convincing generations of Americans (and, increasingly, elsewhere) to reject skeptical thinking for magical thinking.
I just listened to a whole two-hour program on the radio (while driving to St. Louis, last week) in which they rambled on about the FFRF and how their "religious freedom" is under attack, because they can no longer use school buildings or functions to spread their religion. I almost picked up my cellphone and called to ask them if they'd ever heard of Matthew 6:5-7.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
