I'll start off by pointing out that Bill Maher is an arrogant and pompous a**hole. But for the purpose of this documentary skewering religion, no one could have done a better job of pointing out the hypocrisies of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

Maher meets a guy who dresses up ad Jesus, and of course, he has fun with the 21st century messiah. Another discussion is with a self described devout Christian who is asked by the smirking host he actually believes that Jonah lived in the belly of a whale. The answer is predictable.

A creationist gets the same mocking treatment for silly statements regarding the age of the earth and mankind. We ran with dinosaurs, you see; Kentucky is a scary place, with its' very own creationism museum. Another preacher comments on the sinful lifestyle of gays. We get a full spectrum of delusional thinking over the course of the film, and your opinion will be based upon personal religious views. As a retired Catholic and rational human being, I loved Religulous.
