ItsMyIMDBAccount I thought i would never make a review on IMDB about something. I always watched movies and documentaries and kept my opinions to myself. But not today, this documentary it's freaking perfect, idk if all people think like me about it but who gives a damn. I think Bill Maher and I, we have the same thoughts about religions, they're ridiculous and this documentary shows that eventually. The high level of sarcasm which Bill has is freaking awesome and made the show better.

Neddy Merrill Maher's ridicule of the world's major religions (although he goes light on Islam so as to avoid being the next Salman Rushdie) comes across as mean-spirited. This may not serve necessarily his anti- religious rant as might a softer touch. Largely Maher uses the interview format to essentially mock religious officials many of whom get frustrated with his constant contention and interruptions. Only one Jewish man, who apparently also inexplicably attends Holocaust denier events, openly fights Bill for the floor and eventually becomes the "let me finish" guy. Maher ends the "interview" abruptly and early. Maher throws in a few stunts following the Michael Moore template from back when his documentaries were more endearing than superior taking to London's Speakers Corner to preach the gospel according to L. Ron Hubbard and interviewing an actor at a biblical theme park who seems to not draw a line between himself and the Christian savior he plays. Oddly, Maher's narration largely takes place with him sitting in the back seat of an SUV speaking to an unseen driver and not to the camera. It was a weird choice. In short, the anti-religious screed will appeal largely to atheists who enjoy pointing and laughing or to religious people who can skip over the part when Bill makes fun of their beliefs.

Desertman84 What is Bill Maher doing here?Why is he making a propaganda documentary about God and His non-existence?Is a political humorist and author qualified enough to make a case against religion particularly Christianity and Islam? Well,Religulous - a contraction of the words Religion and Ridiculous together - is a documentary made by Bill Maher that would like to make a case against religion.He does this by interviewing people about God around the world particularly about religion and their religious beliefs.He tries to get a range of views about world religion as he travels to familiar places such as Jerusalem,the Vatican,Creation Museum,Holy Land and Salt Lake City.He talks to Jews,Catholics and Protestants about Jesus and the Bible.He also tries to speak to Muslims about Muhammad and Allah and makes a case against their beliefs.Finally,he also travels to London and tries to make a case as well against Scientology being a crazy religion. Apparently,he tries to exhibit his analytic skills,wit and a commitment to pull a punch in his so-called "spiritual journey" to educate people against religion.Well,what can I say.I consider this more of a COMEDIC SKIT rather than a documentary about world religion.The first thing it does not talk about is God which simply makes it an extremely weak documentary.What's worse,it does not even talk about people's faith in God which even makes it a very weak.Instead,Mr Maher makes fun of people's religious beliefs and the things written in religious texts such as the Bible and the Koran.His irreverence simply makes it even more silly and not worthwhile to watch. In the end,it became more of an insult to people who have religions rather than study on why people have religions.Even atheists,agnostics and apostates would feel insulted as well considering they are made fun of by Mr. Maher as he makes a SILLY CASE AGAINST WORLD RELIGION.Overall,it simply lacks wit and intelligence that Mr. Maher is supposedly known for.One advice I could say is:Stick to politics,Mr Maher!!!!!

Vijith Vk Brilliant work by Bill Maher. When I first heard about this, I was expecting a boring documentary featuring a lot of debates but Bill Maher has done a great job in making it both funny and thought provoking at the same time. Not only does he clearly refute their claims, he also does it in a way that makes it both hilarious and interesting.The documentary exposes the blindness induced in the common mass by religion and thereby points out why it is harmful.This documentary is a must watch for everyone. This movie is not just a mockery of faith, instead it is about empowering the average person to think, to question ideas and beliefs rather than blindly following it and also to show empathy and compassion towards others even if they are slightly different rather than condemning them with a black and white definition of good and bad just because it is said so in the religious texts.So, to conclude this movie is mainly against the social evils that is going on in the name of faith which hurt not only other humans but also the planet as a whole.
