** The entirety of ''Thank You God''. It starts with Tim telling a story of a man named Sam, who prayed to God to cure his mother's eyesight, and her eyesight improved. Though Tim goes into an apparently sincere apology to God for doubting Him, it quickly turns into the most exquisite, scathing sarcastic takedown of Sam's brand of "miracle" story, so devastating that there is absolutely nothing left that Sam could say in reply.

Though Tim goes into an apparently sincere apology to God for doubting Him, it quickly turns into the most exquisite, scathing sarcastic takedown of Sam's brand of "miracle" story, so devastating story. Through biting sarcasm, Tim calls out this brand of "inspiration" as ConfirmationBias, citing the fact that there is absolutely nothing left that Sam could say in reply.many people who tell such stories are pretty well-off as it is.

* "Pope Song" is another genius condemnation of the Catholic Church's child abuse allegations, pointing out that it's pretty sick to be more offended about the rude language in the song that the fact that the papacy sheltered priests ''who sexually abused children.'' More than that, Minchin often looks and sounds genuinely ''furious'' throughout the last verse of the song on many live recordings, showing just how deeply he feels about this.

* Any one of his rant songs. The beat-poem "Storm" is one of the best but I also love his sarcastic songs about Christianity such as "The Good Book" and "Thank You God"

* At the 2016 New York Comedy Festival, the crowd - which had already sat through a two-hour show that started at 9:00 pm - brought him back onstage for ''two encores.'' He actually looked kind of bewildered. For the second, he brought all the lights down and (noting how it was "fucking cliche") proceeded to play a rendition of "Hallelujah" that stylistically incorporated the three [[Music/JohnCale most]] [[Music/LeonardCohen famous]] [[Music/JeffBuckley versions]], and got the entire crowd singing along.

* His song [[https://youtu.be/EtHOmforqxk Come Home (Cardinal Pell)]], which tears into Cardinal George Pell's compliance in the cover-ups regarding the Catholic Church's child abuse allegations. The last part is essentially pointing out how Tim [[RefugeinAudacity may be committing defamation just by performing it]], but that George Pell is welcome to come home and sue him for it, making Tim the winner no matter what.
