It's a page from Jeffrey Brown's quirky, fascinating "A Matter of Life" (2013)

Wow, the couple of comments so far are just raging "le redditor atheist".

This comic is harmless. Ya'll just see "religion" and get angry... calm down edgelords.

Yeah, the "church" thing was just placing the setting, which sounds like it could be a real event from the author's life - not much they can do about where it happened. The story and the punchline have nothing to do with religion, so it's an odd thing to latch onto.

TBF, Brown 'losing his religion' is a major theme of the graphic novel, and I thought he handled it with plenty of respect, tact, and honesty... all told in his quirky storytelling mode, of course.
