Religolulous

Based off the trailer, this has got to be one of the most offensive films that has come out in a long time. Bill Maher expects his atheist beliefs to be respected but he makes fun of and mocks the beliefs of others. In one clip it appears that he is comparing God to Santa Claus. What?!?!

I have no doubts that he will act surprised when this movie comes out and there is a massive backlash against it from the Christian and Muslim communities and there should be. Everyone has the right to their own religious beliefs -- these are sacred and I don't see any logical reason to knock these. Even an atheist can see, if they really want to, that religion has had a very beneficial effect on mankind. The people I know of who are religious and go to a church of their choosing are on average a lot happier than those that don't.
