CGiii Comment
From the Truckers Chapel with an ex-satanist priest...to an ex-gay...an ex-Jew for Jesus...ex-Mormons - the whole gamut of f&*ked-up religious twats are all here.
Maher tries to find a hint of logic behind religious belief.
He doesn't quite succeed - he does succeed in simply letting the people represent themselves - without anyone else's help, they dig (for themselves) their own very deep graves.
A revelation to behold: You don't have to pass an I.Q. test to be in the Senate.
Scary stuff but very funny and rather astute.
We like Mr Maher.

The(ir) Blurb...
Bill Maher interviews some of religion's oddest adherents. Muslims, Jews and Christians of many kinds pass before his jaundiced eye. Maher goes to a Creationist Museum in Kentucky, which shows that dinosaurs and people lived at the same time 5000 years ago. He talks to truckers at a Truckers' Chapel. (Sign outside: "Jesus love you.") He goes to a theme park called Holy Land in Florida. He speaks to a rabbi in league with Holocaust deniers. He talks to a Muslim musician who preaches hatred of Jews. Maher finds the unlikeliest of believers and, in a certain Vatican priest, he even finds an unlikely skeptic.
