Its cute, funny and actually quite philosophical, that's what makes it all the more funny. Terry Pratchett has a unique writing style that can't fail to make you smile, and if you really "get" what his is saying you will laugh out loud!
Quote----------
"Small Gods is an extraordinary novel. At first it seems a straightforward satire of religion; then as it progresses, Pratchett balances his satire with some truly epic (by Discworld standards, of course — there's always one foot stuck in the silliness door) storytelling that manages to make worthy commentary on belief and the never-ending conflict between good and evil all without being, well, preachy about it. The story opens in the city of Omnia, whose chief god, Om, has been reduced to a pitiful existence in the form of a turtle because, despite an enormous organized religion centered around his worship, no one really believes in him any more. Om's religion exists to perpetuate itself, with its rituals and vicious punishments and wars presided over by the psychotic Deacon Vorbis. But one simple lad, a hopeless little initiate named Brutha, does believe in Om, and so it is with some surprise that Brutha first encounters Om in his melon patch... a little turtle talking to him telepathically." http://www.sfreviews.net/smallgods.html

Terry Pratchett is awesome! I personally like The Last Continent the best, but that's probably cuz I'm a NZer and he's making fun of Australians!
I am a true believer in Terry Pratchett. I was going to answer with the book 'Good Omens' who co-wrote it with Neil Giaman.

But after reading about 'Small Gods'... I now have to run out and grab THIS one!
Cheers!

Description of the book (written by the author):
--quote--
Part memoir, part Cliff's Notes to every topic under the sun, The Know-It-All is about the year I spent reading the Encyclopaedia Britannica from A to Z (or, more precisely, from a-ak to zywiec). All forty-four million words of it. The book is many things:
First, it's a compendium of the funniest, most fascinating, and most profound facts I uncovered-from the history of canned laughter to Nathaniel Hawthorne's obsessive-compulsive behavior to female spies in the Civil War.
Second, it is a search for meaning and wisdom among that ocean of facts.
Third, it's a memoir of my eccentric, knowledge-loving family. (My dad, for instance, holds the world record for the most number of footnotes in a law review article: 5,435.)
And finally, it is a series of adventures to test the limits of intelligence. I competed in a crossword-puzzle tournament, went on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and attended a Mensa convention.

It's just my kind of humor. Subtle, witty, random, and educated. :)

M$Some select quotes....
"Nothing could be so beautiful, so smart, so brilliant, so well drilled as the two armies. Trumpets, fifes, oboes, drums, cannons formed a harmony such as was never heard even in hell. First the cannons felled about six thousand men on each side; then the musketry removed from the best of worlds some nine or ten thousand scoundrels who infected its surface. The bayonet also was the sufficient reason for the death of some thousands of men."
"What! You have no monks to teach, to dispute, to govern, to intrigue, and to have people burned who are not of their opinion?"
"Oh, what an affliction to be without testicles!"
