For anyone who is agnostic I strongly advice you guys to read "Richard Dawkins, The god dillusion". My mum has believed in religion all her life, she read that book and now she is an aetheist. Also for the open minded people check out zeitgeist, the first part goes into religion and it's origins and you will find out that christianity is certainly not orginal. After watching the whole zeitgeist you wil realize that religion and the goverment do not care about the people, only money and power.

0:25 "The reason I'm going to have a go at christianity is not because they're noble and caring and happy and all that rubbish..."
...What? I must have missed something. Are christians more noble, caring or happy than the average non-christian? I don't think so. There's something you can fix right there.
Being white and capitalist doesn't put you in a Christian bracket. Christianity has nothing to do with class status. I think you're blurring the line between Democracy and Christianity. Democracy doesn't deliver 'religious hatred' using air strikes. And the Bible was continuously written throughout history from the time of the old kingdom of Egypt. With religion being such a contentious issue, how can you have a go at one category and not be intently offensive?
This isn't particularly funny in my opinion as a fellow comic. Jokes consist of a setup, which leads into the joke, and a punch, which is the joke, essentially. Setups create expectation, and the role of the punch is to shatter that expectation. There was no surprise like that in this video hence why it wasn't funny - it's just a negative speech on Christianity. Also to slate something like a religion, it helps to be more informed =) Invest in some stand up books, many are very useful.
It's great that you can openly express what to many of us is the ludicrous idea that the bible in its entirety is absolute fact. The only thing I would change (since you asked for ways to improve) is you mainly talk about the New Testament which was written almost a century after Jesus. The rest of the bible was written before.
Is this supposed to be funny? Im Christian and a comic. This is wrong on both fronts. Its cool youre trying to get laughs and I dont care that its at the expense of the faith but it needs some work. Its more of a narrative of you trying to make this religion look dumb. AnywayIll go out on a limb and say youre open to discussing these types of things, comedy and faith. If so hit me up. Im being honest. No harsh attacks just debate.
