Some people think this is an athiest joke but it seems more like a christian joke to me:

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that the
"accident of evolution" had created. "What majestic trees! What powerful
rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he was walking
alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He
turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as
fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that
the bear was closing. He ran even faster, so scared that tears were
coming to his eyes. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was
even closer. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even
faster. He tripped and fell to the ground. He rolled over to pick
himself up but saw the bear, right on top of him, reaching for him with
his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.

At that instant the atheist cried out "Oh my God!...." Time stopped. The
bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving. As a
bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky "You deny
my existence for all of these years; teach others I don't exist; and,
even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you
out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"

The atheist looked directly into the light: "It would be hypocritical of
me to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps could
you make the bear a Christian?"

"Very well," the voice said. The light went out. The river ran again.
And the sounds of the forest resumed. The bear then dropped its right
paw ........ brought both paws together....bowed its head and spoke:
"Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful."

Hahaha!
