Jon Stewart's 10 Best Religion Moments

Jon Stewart's 10 Best Religion Moments Jon Stewart announced his plan to step down as host of "The Daily Show" on Tuesday, leaving a post he has held for the better part of two decades.

"It's been an honor and an absolute privilege, the honor of my professional life," he said during Tuesday's show. He called his years of hosting an "incredible opportunity," but added, "it is time for someone else to have that opportunity."

Known for his biting humor and painfully honest reporting, Stewart was not afraid to tackle large and sometimes-uncomfortable topics like politics, race and, yes, religion. Here is a look back at 10 of Jon Stewart's best religion clips:
