“What star sign is he?”
“Uh, Capricorn.”
“Uhh, Capricorn, eh? What are they like?”
“Ooh, but... he is the son of God, our Messiah. King of the Jews.”
“And that's Capricorn, is it?”

Although the Pythons were largely agnostic/atheistic - they literally went way out of their way to be extraordinarily respectful to the person of Jesus Christ.

What they were skewering were the mobs of dogmatic followers of any religious or even political figures and the groupthink and violent splintering such groups inevitably devolve into.
