Religulous
Director: Larry Charles
Starring: Bill Maher
Genre: Documentary
Rated: R
Tag line: Heaven help us.
Amazon Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
My Rating: 5 stars
Plot: Writer, comedian and television talk show host Bill Maher travels across the country and the world to debunk the religion mythologies that has plagued the human race for far to long and release us from the shackles of our religious leaders.
Review: Bill Maher is making a call to arms: In order for the human race to continue, religion must die. Over the last few years, several writers and documentary makers have done the same, but no one has ever really taken the in depth look at the insanity that some people of faith hold. From a the brutality of Islam to the out of this world beliefs of the Church of Latter Day Saints to the brutal display of Jesus' final walk at a family friendly theme park, Maher covers it all.
One-to-one interviews, slices of religious propaganda, church services and so on make up the film that shows you the dark side of the "good life." We also reveal how people choose their leaders in the USA - not through skill, intelligence or anything that matters, but through what faith they have (one senator even goes out to say one doesn't have to pass an IQ test to be a senator). This movie comes at the right time, asking those of us too timid to express our true beliefs in nothing but humanity.
