RELIGULOUS

Bill Maher, comedian and TV writer, travels around the world, from
Jerusalem to the Vatican, all the way to the Mormon stronghold in Salt
Lake City, interviewing people about God and their faith, making fun
of organized religion and irreverently studying the contradictions
and tragic-comic aspects of fanaticism.

 

“Ok. An old God who lives in the sky and has power over everything
decides he wants a son, so he impregnates a woman but she remains
a virgin. And, the child can walk on water and raise the dead. But his
father, the sky God, sends him on a suicide mission to save humanity.
After he dies, he rises from the dead and flies into space to be with his
father (who is also him). Greek myths? The latest installment of the
Lord of the Rings? Disney’s new animated movie? No! These are the
foundations of Western religion. From the Western Wall to the Vatican,
we will not only expose the hypocrisy and corruption in organized
religion but the absurdly hilarious logic that holds it together.”
