I mean, I assume because there’s nothing you could plausibly call Judaism Incorporated, or Islam Limited, but the Catholic Church arguably does look like a corporate entity if you squint hard enough (though it's actually really the remnants of a _state_).

It would be impossible to make this joke about Judaism or Islam, or at least, if you did, it wouldn’t make any sense.

The Knights of Malta is a similar case, though newer; used to be a state, and kind of still pretends to be a state, but really a non-profit corporation of sorts.

I guess there's Mel Brooks.

I think you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about and being disingenuous muddying my point.

No, I'm sorry, I've no idea. Unless you're claiming that no-one ever makes jokes of any sort about the other two big Abrahamic religions, but, I mean, er, they do. Perhaps you could be a bit clearer about what you're attempting to say?

For this particular joke, though, neither would make any sense.

Again you change what I say and then you use it to blatantly lie. There are jokes on the other two but it is very, very rare and usually very, very mild. And you know exactly what I mean.

I'm done. I don't care about your answers out of cognitive dissonance or straight out malice.

And final note: I'm not even Christian.
