The Daily Show did a segment on the atheist group Freedom From Religion Foundation and their opposition to a Mother Teresa stamp.

In the clip, comedian Jason Jones interviews Dan Barker about the reasons why his organization opposes the stamp.

Barker said some outlandish statements in the interview. But is he serious or was he just exaggerating it all for the camera? I mean, could he really believe this?

The Roman Catholic Church has unofficial tentacles. There’s no official entanglement between the Roman Catholic Church and the United States Government…  I don’t know how big the Roman Catholic conspiracy is but if they can pull off getting a U.S. postage stamp, they do have some power.

Well, in fact, these statements are not far off from what the organization has actually said.

America’s disproportionately powerful Roman Catholic influence undoubtedly accounts for this turn of events. Mother Teresa is on the fast-track to sainthood and the Catholic Church is pulling out all the stops to beatify one of their own.

The Daily Show of course has mocked the Catholic Church numerous times in the past. But it’s refreshing to see that in this case, The Daily Show realizes that the idea of attacking Mother Teresa for having a ‘dark side’ is so absurd, it’s funny.

The clip is funny, but the comedian does use the Lord’s name in vain. You’ve been forewarned.
