Comedian and political commentator Bill Maher\u2019s RELIGULOUS is a documentary about how religion is \u201cdetrimental to the progress of humanity\u201d. In a series of on-location interviews, Maher sets up false pretenses in order to interact with a variety of religious people who assume good faith, only to get \u201cgotcha\u2019d\u201d by Maher\u2019s noxiously smug tone. It\u2019s troubling that while Maher sets up interviews with certified hypocrites - prosperity gospel preachers, ex-gays, and holocaust deniers - he\u2019s so self-centered that he never allows time for any of his easy critiques to land effectively, making his guests\u2019 sometimes reprehensible views seem tame in comparison. It\u2019s the lower-class and sometimes marginalized civilians Maher encounters in his journey that actually get the most of his aggression, and the final act of the movie is genuine anti-Muslim propaganda, stopping just short of advocating genocide. RELIGILOUS proves that the religion of liberal atheism can be just as judgmental and dogmatic as any doomsday cult.
