Free speech is one of the fundamental rights that is highly valued in our society. But people also know that when you drop religion, politics or family trees into a conversation like an anvil, the dirt can fly.
This particular anvil is a documentary called Religulous, dropped from none other than Bill Maher, an American fellow who frequents the television with his political commentary and critical stance against organized religion.
In the film, Maher traverses the globe with his movie title in one hand and a cynical reputation in the other. I can’t imagine he’s hopping continents in honest pursuit of truth. He’s looking to paint religion with an extreme and wide brush, all the while waiting for on-camera moments to capture and mock any slips in reason and logic.

Religion is favorite fodder for comedians worldwide. Why wouldn’t it be? The more sensitive and touchy the subject, the more people are going to react. And comedians are in the business of reaction.
What do you think of Bill Maher’s “religious mockumentary”?
