From a quick read of "Who we are" page or some such, it appears that they may possibly be for real.
If it's a joke though, they do make a nice and cheap imitation of fundieism.

Yeah, it's a satire site. The guy who runs it is an Atheist Network alumnus.

Dead on satire. Too effective maybe. One day I hope to wake up to discover that all this religious crap has been a satire all along and everyone's just a bunch of atheists pulling each other's legs. We can all get together and have a beer and tease each other like "I had you going, you really thought I was a Jesus freak that one time!" and we can all laugh our asses off at the crap we came up with.

Like the flat earthers!
I've known a couple, but they don't actually believe the world is flat. They just like to see folks turn red in the face as they shrug off all reasoning and state that the world really is flat, as though that settles it. They're real life trolls, heh. And, in the case of flat earthers, religion never gets in the way. They tend to have the ability to piss off all people equally. It really is brilliant . . .
But yeah, it'd be nice for it all to be a gotcha, but it's been too real. People killing themselves and others for their gods . . .

I've actually been in online debates with people who referenced his site as support for their arguments. I remember when he came up with the idea for that site and launched it.

Satire is so much fun to do, but there's always that risk of it being taken seriously or really pissing someone off, when all you really want to do is make someone laugh or smile. Good satire on religion has to have some hint of the absurdly ridiculous to get a laugh, or it's going to be taken seriously. And it's so hard to get into the absurdly ridiculous when you are doing religion because Poe's Law is in effect at all times. In other areas, if you look at something like the Obama cover for the New Yorker, it was so close to the actual position that right wing seems to be seriously taking that the room for a satirical take was absolutely razor thin. It was hard to get a laugh on that one. This site is kind of in that category, where it's really pushing the line, but I didn't get much past the first paragraph to see if there were any giveaways to the satire, because I found it too offensive to go on. That's the way it goes though, some satire works for some people, and some doesn't. It's kind of a learning experience to see where the line is for anyone.
At least here on Earth. On my home planet we're so much more laid back. We crack up at everything.
