Here is the specific clip: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-march-8-2010/mail-mary
It didn't make Barker or FFRF come off in a positive light, but it is a comedy show and that is what they do.

Thanks for posting the link! Yes, I was rather frustrated at how he came out in the video. They could have made it funny *and* let him get his point across. I've heard him speak on the issue, so I know that he can make a convincing argument. But like you said, the goal is comedy, not information.
Hopefully at least some people who didn't know about FFRF have heard about it now and will see what they're about, and some of the more curious in the viewing audience may look into whether or not Mother Teresa was really all she was cracked up to be as a humanitarian (which she wasn't: forcing religion on the people she treated, crusading against reproductive rights, etc.)
