One other thing worth noting is that four out of the eight writers on the show identify as Catholic. It might be such that they are nominal or former Catholics who want to take a shot at Catholicism. It's pretty common. Much in the same way I think Christianity gets targeted a bit more in these things because the writers are nominal or former Christians who want to take a shot. There are probably not many nominal or former Muslims writing American television, so the subject is going to come up less. Which is why there's either a deliberate attempt at breaking stereotypes or a deliberate attempt to embrace them.
I had a friend who was an Evangelical who became an atheist. He became very angry at his former religion and took every chance he had to point out how stupid it was to him and all the flaws he saw. He didn't lash out much at any other religion other than to call them foolish superstitions. Something worth putting a thought toward.
