Anarchists are the very least of our "violence problems"

(19,326 posts)6. Well, you may be right
but as far as I know "Atheists" in general, are not noted for being particularly unruly or threatening w/ armed violence, unless you can enlighten me as to who these folks are. I doubt that the atheist demographic is any more prone to gun violence than the general population.

(25,977 posts)7. That's called 'situational irony'
In this case, it's a deliberate contrast between expectations (yes, atheists are seldom perceived as prone to violence) and portrayal in the cartoon. The other two other depictions, however, are spot on.
