Lightbulbs don’t go out naturally. It’s just confused. Send it to lightbulb camp.

It was a jest. Completely, totally a jest. Another try:

There’s no such thing as a lightbulb. It only takes one atheist to replace the dark-absorber when it gets full.

". . . in order to know for certain that the lightbulb was burned out, you would require complete omniscience."

Okay, I have to call this one out (even if, by chance, it was a jest) because it bugs me. In most clear bulbs (incandescent or otherwise) one can see if the filament is in tact; if not, it's out. For frosted bulbs, shake them and if you hear something bouncing off the glass, that's the broken filament (it could also possibly be visible in the bulb if held up to the light). As for fluorescents, the broken filament can likely be heard. For those bulbs which the filament isn't visible, the sure way to tell if it's junk is to apply a continuity test with a multimeter, of which the cheapest costs as much as a lightbulb.

One, and we have the science to prove our answer.

None. An atheist rationally knows that a light bulb can’t be changed — once a light bulb, always a light bulb. However, it takes only one atheist to replace a light bulb.

This one gets my vote! But this one deserves honorable mention!

One, she tells me to change it when I get home.

At least three, but they won’t change it, just continue the orgy until the sun rises!

Alternatively:

One, but they need the severed head of a baby.

One, but no one will ever use that light again, because as soon as an atheists touches the light bulb, all light emitted becomes the work of the devil.
