Religulous

This is a documentary that Bill Maher made about religion. I freakin' loved it!!! Bill Maher is my new hero - this movie was funny and smart at the same time. I couldn't agree with Bill more in regards to organized religion. I, too, feel that it is detrimental to the progression of humankind. So many religions are oppressive to women, gays, the peace process and overall human understanding. I think what I loved best about the movie is that Bill is willing to admit that he does not have all of the answers and that it's okay to admit when one doesn't know what is out there, what happens to us when we die, etc. I only wish the movie had been longer and had gone further indepth about specifics in regards to the religions he discussed and was pondering. But, then it probably wouldn't have been as funny.
