Film Review: Religulous

Religulous is a great documentary/comedy starring Bill Maher.  Absolutely no religion is spared his wrath, be it Scientology, Islam, Christianity, or Judaism.  The core point he strives to make, which I agree with, is that anyone who follows one of these religions and believes in the stories and rituals is a bit nuts.  

Whether you believe that earth was created by aliens who unleashed nuclear weapons (Scientology), that it is a sin to tie a knot on a Saturday (Judaism), or that your prophet requires you to wear magic underwear (Mormonism), do the details really matter?  

No, they are all nuts. 

 It is especially scary that our elected leaders believe in these types of fairy tales and that it guides their policies.

The film concludes with a skewering of religion in general, and the central point that "Religion must die for mankind to live."
