Comedy Rule Number One: Everything is fair game. It it makes you uncomfortable and yet make you laugh, it's a job well done.
Example A: Pryor
What I wouldn't give to see Pryor at a roast in 2017/18. (in his prime)

My problem with what Wolf did was that it wasn't really all that funny. If you're going to make a joke at someones expense it should be a good one or it's not worth it.
But I do enjoy the hypocrisy of the suddenly melting snowflakes like Matt Schlapp and of course, Helmet Hair. Sometime in the last couple of years, they seem to have lost their sense of humor. It was hilarious when it was Rosie or Carly but not now that it is Sarah or Kellyanne.

It was hilarious when it was Rosie or Carly but not now that it is Sarah or Kellyanne. Comedians usually work their bits out way before bringing it to the big stage. Timing, pauses, words. Things will fall flat and you can look back at the writing and performer. It's scripted live theater. Pussy Tigger can't take his own medicine. |

The ones with all the guns have the most fear and the ones that claim disdain for political correctness are the most sensitive.

You can go on the internet and find people who believe all sorts of things. But you are having a problem in your attempt to make atheism a system. Your first link was a blogger floating ideas for a system and one of his proposals was that the universe is scientific. That statement doesn't even make sense.
Another used the No True Scotsman fallacy.
If it is a system it is the most unsystematic system I've ever seen.
Name a tenet other than non-belif that would necessarily follow from one being an atheist? This is easily done for any religion you want to name.

Name a tenet other than non-belif that would necessarily follow from one being an atheist? This is easily done for any religion you want to name. Well like all religions, it depends upon the sect, but there are some general tenants that hold true for the vast majority: 1. Absolute Mortality 2. Sex Education 3. Pro Choice 4. Strong support for the establishment clause 5. Life came into being without purpose and without intelligent design or intervention 6. Earth is basically 4 billion years old. 7. The human brain controls all thoughts, emotions, speech, and actions of humans. 8. Free will is a big divider among atheists right now. 9. Reject the responsibility to prove god does not exist 10. Embrace secular humanism Here's 10 tenants. If you want more tenants, just let me know and I'll give you tenant after tenant after tenant. |

None of those work. Pick any of them and explain why they would necessarily follow from my unbelief in gods.
Tenets, not tenants.
