“On the Glenn Beck program he said he views the atheists as parasites who without putting any energy into it benefit from America created by the faithful people.”

Far be it from me to remark on the proper use of punctuation . . but I am only an engineer, not a journalist trained in the art of words and how to use them.

Although there are many situations where commas to separate clauses might be optional, the sentence to which you referred requires at least three of them, perhaps four or even five.

BTW, I don't consider myself a journalist.
