‘South Park’ on Religion


(PG-13 content) To celebrate the upcoming season 20 premiere of South Park, Jared Bauer from Wisecrack takes a look back at the hilariously irreverent way Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s adult animated sitcom has handled and portrayed religion over the past 19 seasons.

“Whether it be Jesus or Satan, Frosty the Snowman or God himself, Trey Parker and Matt Stone aren’t afraid of addressing religion head-on – even if it isn’t exactly clear where the show stands on the issue. South Park forces us to take a hard look at what religion really means to us, and in the process, the show raises some important questions that other series wouldn’t have the nerve to ask.”
