Yes, how dare I punch down on the poor Mormon Church!
The problem is that the joke is old and isn't interesting. It's like talking about weather and then claiming you're Oscar Wilde.
Person: "Hey, aren't religious people wacky?"
*Crickets*
I’m not apathetic about religious people because unfortunately they continue to occupy positions of authority in our society.
If religious people were actually dismissed in the way you describe I could understand your perspective. They are not mocked liked this though and are very much taken seriously.
But you're not talking about that, you're mocking an individual for being religious.
Isn't the boss a position of authority?
They are not mocking them for being religious. They are mocking their advice about logic, which comes from a religious person.
Because you know, religion & logic don't go hand in hand.
