I can think of no other religion beside Christianity which engenders so many attempts at blasphemous humor. Most would write it off as simply the natural bent toward mocking the powerful or elite, and proceed to go on at some length about all the evil done in the name of Christianity, blah, blah, blah.
My take is a little different. The reason we don't see more of this type of ridicule of Buddhism, Islam, and other other world religions is because evil loves to attack truth. It's not much fun to attack something you know is false. Of course, they don't acknowledge Christianity as true, but given the waning influence of Christian worldview in most societies, I can think of no other logical reason.
Besides, even Jesus warned us that computer geeks were servants of the dark lord in his Sermon on the Mount (Revised Obama Version, copyright 2007, Democratic National Committee).
