For some reason this made a joke pop in my head only with a religious connotation instead of a racist one.
Three Americans, an atheist, a deist, and a Christian are flying on a plane when the pilot comes on the intercom and says the plane is too heavy. They are going to have to lighten the load if they want to stay afloat. The Christian looks at the cargo, sees a crate full of science books, and throws them out of the plane. "We have plenty of these at home," he says. The deist sees a a crate full of Justin Bieber cd's and throws them out of the plane. "We have plenty of these at home," he declares. The atheist pauses, thinks for a second, gets up, throws the Christian out of the plane saying, "We have plenty of these of these at home."
It's not as funny as it should be becaus I reworded it on the spot to fit the context of religion, but the point is we have a surplus of Chrsitians if you need any.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
