This movie was excellent. I was roaring in the theatre, absolutely hilarious. Bill Maher knows how to push those buttons but seems to do it in sort of a genuine kind of way! It was great.. just great!

Excellent example of critical thinking, in a culture where most cannot think at all.

Just because someone says something in a movie and says "this is true" does not make it so. This movie presents a lot of facts about religion that are nothing more than fabrication (but what else is new in Hollywood?). Those of you who thought this movie was great, use your heads, research some of the 'facts' presented, you'll find many of them are simply made up for added effect.

Loved it!! "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." - Seneca the Younger

Maher's hilarious in highlighting the absurdity of so many beliefs so many cling to so desperately. This goes beyond a Michael Moore type treatment: Maher's own quick wit plays a big role in the interactions. I was impressed by his courage to say what he thinks, and by his camaraderie with those he's exposing -- humor is used not merely at their expense, but also at times as a way to convey togetherness in the (albeit absurd) situation. The documentary could've been better organized and edited; hits you over the head at the end; and behind the humor there's the depression of seeing how many dense, misled people are driving our world. But all that's beside the point. It's a wake-up call; and

Maher gives the religious just enough rope to hang themselves. A movie that must be seen not because it is good and not because it is particularly insightful to anyone alive and thinking today, but because it points out in a most direct way, from the lips of the religious, the utter inanity of their beliefs, the ignorance from which they stem and the cognitive dissonance they breed.

One of many questions I wish to ask the'omniscient' Mr Maher is this: Which 'learned' scholar ever taught you that none of the four evangelists was a contemporary of Jesus? Most biblical scholars agree that Matthew and John were two of the apostles and that Mark was a disciple of Peter.

At the start of the film Mr.Maher gives viewers to believe that he is going to try and find out some rationality behind religion. But, if you really want to do that and be honest with yourself, you go and interview highly qualified people and not 'easy-mark religious people'(FAMOUS'-Movie Guide)
