You don't need to be religious to get the joke. You just need some very basic Judeo-Christian cultural knowledge and an irreverent sense of humour. If you know what the words mean, I kind of feel like it's the latter you're lacking.

Actually, I think that is exactly why humour poking fun at religion or Christianity is usually lost on me. I have a passable knowledge of Judeo-Christianity, so I'll understand the context of the humour, but as I was raised in a non-religious family I was never taught to believe that religious things were supposed to be treated with reverence in the first place. So when religious subjects are treated irreverently it's just not as funny to me.

Ditto.

Like, there was a show and one joke was "hahaha, he drank the holy water in the church instead of regular water" and my reaction was basically, "so? he's not thirsty now".

What about the fact that not everyone has basic Judeo-Christian knowledge is so fucking hard for some of you people to get?

AYRT

Secret maker said they knew what the words meant, just didn't find the joke funny. Knowing what those words mean = the very basic Judeo-Christian cultural knowledge I was referring to. To put it another way, if the joke was instead something like 'the Helix fossil has spoken, praise Allah', I would get the joke not because my upbringing was steeped in Islamic teachings but because I appreciate that sort of irreverent absurdity in humour.
