Religulous

Bill Maher travels around the world interviewing people about God and religion. He examines the tenets of the Abrahamic religions and raises questions about homosexuality, the existence of Jesus, Sabbath laws and Islamic extremism.

Religulous, the documentary’s title, is a portmanteau of the words religious and ridiculous. Maher disagrees with the concept of organised religion, arguing that it makes the world a more dangerous place by inspiring fanaticism while rejecting scientific evidence. His journey takes him to numerous destinations, including the Vatican, Jerusalem, Salt Lake City and London, where he meets people from a wide range of backgrounds, including Christians, Hasidic Jews, Muslims and former Mormons.

Religulous is an honest, if somewhat irreverent, film that challenges notions of God and religion through humour and sceptical thinking.
