Religulous plays to the non-religious crowd. It attempts to documentary-like features, but remember Bill is a comedian. The director was from Borat. The two together is a money maker playing to the lowest common denominator. There are some funny moments, but it is not much better than if Jerry Springer did a show on Religion.
Do nto watch this film if you're very religious cause it will only anger you. Watch this movie if you are open minded, and/or confused about religion, what its about any why its around. This movie gets you thinking and we need more thinkers out there. Bill explains he was raised Catholic/Jewish and brings up good points on how religion is bogus, but when it comes to Israel he takes a stance on how its for Jews. For a man who claims nobody has ever spoked to God, he sure as hell stood by his word when he talks about the chosen ppl. A more educated man should have taken Bills place, but the whole point of the film was great. A must see
Attacking religion is similar to shooting fish in a barrel.Maher ispreaching to the converted and as an Atheist,I am a convert!
Its about time.
A breath of fresh air. Some good chuckles, but also scary seeing the religious fanatics doing their best to wreck the world. This film more than met my high expectations.
loved it
If you liked Super Size Me, Bowling For Columbine, Sicko, or Bigger Stronger Faster then you'll love this documentary. The film presents long held religious beliefs in an entertaining format.
Bill's uncanny ability to cut through all the b.s. in "religuous" teachings, have shown us all that we need to question things,if we hope to evolve and get better as a society...simply awesome !!
Terrible. He was being just as ignorant and arrogant as the people he was talking with. Incredibly disrespectful and not intelligent at all. I am not religious, I am an athiest, and I was offended for these people who were being bashed. He didn't try to reason with them, he just laughed at them and said they were stupid. Nice debate. (sarcasm)
I personally subscribe pretty much to the same theory that Bill Maher does, but having said that, there is one very major flaw in this movie. Bill didn't interview any major, academically qualified religious scholars. Mainly he interviewed folks that quite frankly appeared not to be all that intillectually gifted. Kind of a Jerry Springer approach to the subject presentation. signed...GWH.
