I have always believed that there should be no subject about which one cannot make jokes, religion included. Clearly, one is always constricted by contemporary mores and trends because, after all, what one seeks above all is an appreciative audience.
Rowan AtkinsonI tend to play rather odd men. People that are slightly odd or eccentric, or have a more particular attitude to life.
Rowan AtkinsonTo criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom. The freedom to criticize ideas, any ideas - even if they are sincerely held beliefs - is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. A law which attempts to say you can criticize๏ปฟ and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed.
