I think mocking religion is not a good thing because it can result in wars. You never know how these things can escalate.
I imagine mocking to mean making inflammatory and insulting comments. There's also jokes and humour about religion....and some religions can't take a joke, so they aren't a good idea either (at least for certain religions).
Having said that, I am Catholic and I can remember a priest who used to include religious (as in Catholic) jokes in his sermons which usually got a smile and muffled laughter from the congregation. I suppose there was always the risk that the very devout might complain about him, but hopefully no one did. I have to admit though that some of the nuns didn't get the punchlines. 🙂
If an anti-Catholic joke is genuinely funny I am likely to laugh and save it to tell my friends. Some jokes however aren't funny mostly because whoever thought them up either knew nothing about the religion or the joke was so old it was no longer relevant (like English comedians making jokes about Australia being full of convicts....groan). I don't take offence to jokes about my religion but others might....especially in America from what I've read.
Flat Earthers and don't forget the Creationists though, hmm, that's a hard one.
