      Religulous



      Known for his stance against religion, Bill Maher's views on the various world religions are explored as he travels to numerous religious destinations, such as Jerusalem, the Vatican, and Salt Lake City, interviewing believers from a variety of backgrounds and groups, including Jews for Jesus, Muslims, polygamists, Satanists, Hasidic scholars and even Rael of the Raelian Movement.
      In the trailer and documentary Maher also interviews research neuroscientist Andrew Newberg, MD, (author of Why We Believe What We Believe) who brain-scans people at the University of Pennsylvania as they pray, meditate and speak in tongues.
      Maher admitted to lying about himself and his film to obtain interviews: "We never, ever, used my name. We never told anybody it was me who was going to do the interviews. We even had a fake title for the film. We called it 'A Spiritual Journey.' It didn't work everywhere. We went to Salt Lake City, but no one would let us film there at all."



      Although I think Bill Maher is an egotistical asshole, I'm gonna go see this, cause it's nice to see a movie take religion head on.

      :peace:

      Awesome. Only thing is, very few religious people will watch this movie.

      Maybe I'll take my deeply religious friends, and tell them it's a movie reinforcing the idea of religion.

      I hope there is more interest in The Scene for bootleg copies of this to be circulating than Ben Stein's piece of propaganda crap. These kinds of political/social films don't get played by cinemas in my city, so downloading is really my only alternative to seeing them until they come out on DVD.

      Bill Maher can go over the line occasionally, but I think he's got the right idea about dealing with the increasing religiosity of the American media. He just doesn't take any bullshit.

      Anything with Michael Moore in it immediately loses all credibility.
