Religulous

ATHEISM - Ridiculous and religion get combined in a new atheist documentary about the sheer silliness of many of the world's religious beliefs.

The documentary is hosted by comedian Bill Maher from the show Politically Incorrect and is directed by Larry Charles, the staff writer for Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Reviews:

Christie Lemire of the Associated Press: "If you're an atheist or an agnostic, you'll be completely on board and happy to tag along with Maher as he travels the globe asking people about their faith - everywhere from Jerusalem to the Vatican to Amsterdam, where he finds not only the Cannabis Ministry but also a Muslim gay bar (with two people in it)."

Stephen Schaefer of Newsday: "much that's funny, insightful and thought-provoking. But it certainly doesn't give the religious a lot of slack."

Nick Schager of Slant Magazine: "atheistic wannabe-dissection of modern faith" and compared it to Ben Stein's Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed in that he considered both films to have "[employed] a similar, debilitating brand of smug disingenuousness, feigning interest in discussion while arrogantly and speciously preaching in the very same manner that their subjects are ridiculed for."
