Review
US comedian Bill Maher travels the world, with a metaphoric blunderbuss, to mock religious zealots by allowing them to spout quixotically outlandish pieces of madness/religion and to point out some of the logical absurdities in their beliefs. Some of the victims are purely nuts, but most represent the views of mainstream sects, only a Vatican priest really saves the day for God with a humourous scepticism about the whole nature of fundamentalism. The destinations include Jerusalem, the Vatican, Salt Lake City, North Carolina, Florida and Amsterdam, the targets are all 'adherents' of the monotheistic Judaeo-Christian-Muslim group and are somewhat too numerous to mention. If you're an atheist this is hilarious, if you're religious you might find the approach somewhat unbalanced and deceitful. I found it hilarious.
