PZ Meyers, biologist, godless liberal and science blogger has raised the (sarcastic) outrage flag over a couple of cartoons about Atheism (one from my personal fave Bizarro).

A quick search of all the newspaper comics that were searchable found damn few other Atheist references…
“Reality Check” had something similar to Bizarro, but different:

“The Buckets” made an interesting point (that probably got some nasty letters from non-atheists):

The always thought-non-provoking column filler “Graffiti”:

“Soup to Nutz” scores with the classic ‘if you’re going to insult religion, make sure most of the readers think it’s somebody else’s religion’ gambit:

The only “Pearls Before Swine” to come up in a search for ‘atheist’ was part of a story arc about a cookie with its head bitten off:

And here’s the only thing a search for “godless” brought up:

Of course, webcomics should be a little more open-minded. The main character in “Nukees” is an outspoken and frequently argumentative atheist (and, apparently, a dopelganger for the strip’s creator).

“Irregular Webcomic” seems to believe that atheists are people too (or at least Lego People).

Good ol’ D.S. may not believe in God, but it believes in Dog.

And, of course, Goats KNOWS that God is dead, because its main characters ate Him.

I’m surprised I didn’t find more in the ohnorobot webcomic search. Anybody have some totally obvious examples that will make me thoroughly embarassed that I missed?
