I called religion a profession/business. I think that covers it.
This is unwise. Best case is people don't laugh at a lame variation of a very old joke, worst case is you lose your job for expressing intolerance of people's religion and/or for being demeaning towards women. Middle case is you get a lecture by HR.
Unless your workplace is a comedy club, maybe stick to dad jokes. You're being paid to work, not be an edgy comedian. And your co-workers are most certainly not being paid to laugh at your jokes.
If your workplace was a comedy club, the audience is still not being paid to laugh at your jokes and a big part of your job would be to read the room.
