Religion is talked about a lot throughout the show, although it is often very subtle. However, the Christmas special offers the perfect chance for all cast members to share their views on what is seen as a very religious holiday.
The following above is a clip which demonstrates the cast as clay figures and they end up singing a song about what Christmas is for. Shirley talks about it being Jesus's birthday, Troy says it's a time to play video games, while Annie sings about it being a time for Hanukkah.
This episode is a good example of what is known as comparative religion. Comparative religion is a form of religious studies that seeks to study religions of the worlds and analyze themes, rituals and similarities and difference that exists within these religions. Community serves as an excellent show to demonstrate comparative religion. A group of six people with different backgrounds, age and religion can fin similarities and co-exist.
