Bill Maher, Roman Polanski and Barack Obama
Lineage and religion -- they are killer topics. It's not easy to escape religious roots. No one makes their own choice at birth regarding religion, yet ancestry and religious rules decide a lot.

I agree with the New Atheists: it's time for religion to go. Intolerant, politicized, ugly, right-wing religion, that is. I agree with religious peopl...

After watching your movie Religulous, I was quite disappointed with your depiction of religion as a whole. I don't believe that you were truly out for answers but only to poke fun and mock.

If I want to hear the administration's position I'll go on its website. I don't need a wide-eyed cheerleader echoing what the President's saying. Bias is bias.

There's nothing like a Bill Maher sneer to puncture the pieties and moral certainty of the deeply religious. I spoke with him about religion, its followers and the release of the Religulous DVD.

Faith is not about hatred and exclusion -- those are perversions of the deepest religious truths. The religious life is not about pretending to know with certainty, it is about living with deep humility.

Bill Maher's new film "Religulous" is important -- not because I agree with Mr. Maher's opinions, but because I find his fundamental mission to call into question the certitude of all organized religions monumentally necessary. I'd even say it was God's work.

Maher holds a black-and-white world view that demonizes religion in the same way that some religious fundamentalists demonize those who differ from them. He is a secular fundamentalist.

I'll put on my Hollywood hat just for a moment so I can lead a chorus of righteous laughter at the colossal failure of the persecuted Hollywood conservatives behind An American Carol.

Maher's examination of religion (including his own religious past) is remarkably candid and sympathetic toward the victims of religious mythology.

I know that your new film is about to debut, Religulous, and that you mean it to be funny. Truthfully, my friend, faith is a funny thing. Not funny ha-ha, funny odd.
