It’s a combination of irreverence (mocking religion by treating non-divine entities as gods), incongruity (you don’t expect a bunch of science-minded techno-nerds to sit around praying), and self-mockery (poking fun at our level of enthusiasm for Bayesian concepts).
To me it seems humorous. Which is in stark contrast to awful political art such as the poem EY describes in the linked post.
Why is it humorous besides pointing out that the author is on our side?

None of that resolves to anything more than “I’m on your team! Go team!”
