Catholic or Protestant Atheist

I'm an atheist! Alright. But what kind of atheist? Catholic atheist or Protestant Atheist?

A man declares that he is an atheist, but an armed masked figure immediately asks whether he is Catholic or Protestant. The joke references the religious divide between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, treating atheism as if it still belongs to one of the rival denominations. It is used as an absurd reaction to someone making a supposedly neutral statement that others insist on categorizing.
