Quickie: Religulous
Religulous (2008)–***
Quickie Review
Comedian Bill Maher takes us on trips to small town churches, the holy sites of world religions, and a few Christian-themed tourist traps to make his point: Religion is not only illogical, but also dangerous. A hilarious, biting indictment of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, this Larry Charles-directed documentary would be considered offensive if I thought anyone watching it disagreed with the tour guide. The film tends to, if you’ll pardon the cliché, preach to the choir. Lucky for those of us in the pews, this preacher is hip, funny, and pretty damn smart. Featuring an ex-Jew for Jesus, gay Muslims, a heterosexual gay man, a pious scientist, and a guy who plays Jesus at the Holy Land theme park.
