  • Itisnt religion that creates prblems. It is hypocrites. The love of money is truly the root of all evil.

    We think it is religion that has caused all wars. No, it is by evil men that use religion for their diabolical purposes. Religion is how wars are often sold. Wars have been fought for truly one real reason. Access to commerce. Trade routes. Money and security. That is and has always been the reason. Religion as practiced by true saints, has its purposes and offers light to the world.

  • I just want to stab that woman who starts talking at 3:04

  • Interesting video, the problem is that not all religions believe or behave on the things he is talking about.

    And those leading a religion are rarely irrationalists. They might use irrational people however their leaders are not (as they have their own limitations and corruptions).

    And his comment that some do not possess more knowledge or capacities as he has... ...kind of presumptuous.

  • Lol this video only puts on display two religions...wonder why... -_-

  • @M3PanoS ehr three, the people with boxes on their heads praying moving back and forth are well, how can I say it without breaking a taboo?

  • @theawesomebeliever my bad, this video shows two religions: islam and christianity -with affirming christians and christians in denial

  • @M3PanoS np. :) Thanks for rectifying. 

  • Weird How bill states all these ''religious'' dangers yet fails to mention Israel... you know that nuclear armed religious state that believes a messiah is coming for them so they can rule the world... Oh right he is a jew...right.

    How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you don't see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you'll see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

  • @slickrickdarula he showed several passages and video footage of the religion you mention, and the entire old testament is part of the beliefs of that religion, so they are included by default.

  • @theawesomebeliever i do not see any references from the old testament. I see Quran verses, I see quotes from John's Revelation (NT) and a lot of hypocrisy. Then the video footage: I see Bush, Khomenei, Ahmedinejad, Yasser Arafat... not a single Jewish figure. The only shown is the one getting talked to by the ''rapture'' Christian.

    Not a single quote from the Talmud, not a single quote from the Old Testament, not a Single mention of Israel or Judaism. Hypocrisy at its peak.

  • @slickrickdarula Well, then it is clear to figure out who might be paying for that show.

    Specially when we have Bill Maher presenting it. But what do I know.

  • Actually, ironically, George Bush comes closest here to ALMOST saying something profound. We Are in a conflict; but not between good and evil: but rather between thinking and wilfull ignorance. Between celebrating learning and understanding, and consciously turning off our minds in the pursuit of magical thinking; that praying to the right god will give us rewards in the hereafter and the here-and-now. And George Bush and his enemies are both firmly in the latter camp.

  • Religulous is a great movie. It's like watching a rational guy encountering crazy characters in Wonderland. You can empathise with all of Bill's questions and reactions throughout, but the sad thing is the Wonderland is the real world and the crazies are my fellow primates.

    The ending was just a perfect slam dunk. =)

  • @UnitedKingdomify Well put, Mr. Sir.

  • @Nemesis0300 Thank you, Guy. Dude.

  • Using the Bible as a source for argument is not good, it has not been validated and many refuse to see it as open to changes, it's rooted in faith. That's where the scientific method is different, adapting and changing when theories are proven and discounted.

    Atheism is the acknowledgment of the Lack of empirical evidence of a god or gods, It has nothing to do with "belief", that term is mediated by perception and because of perception the meaning changes, for the religious it is a certitude.

  • The book is called: the Revelation of Jesus Christ, not Revelations. We are almost there....One World Order.. when people cry peace and safety, then, sudden destruction. World peace? I don't think so. Maybe Bill Mayer missed the part where Jesus rose from the dead. Any other gods that you know of that did that? No. There is only ONE God and He is the Lifegiver and Creator of the universe.

  • @OL8Twho Did you watch the entire movie?? there where several gods that rose from the dead

  • @metaldave08096 Really? Did they die for our sins and offer the gift of eternal life?

  • Yes religion Must die but to bad cause when the big bad devil comes he will make a one world religion ow wait united nations is already trying to do that how stupid of me, so all those athiests that hate religion are gonna hopefully find love and peace in Jesus Christ cause he can give you free salvation something no religion or man can give you and hopefully the other religions of the world will wake up before its to late

  • i hate Bill Maher... that condescending fuck. be an atheist i dont care just dont insult my intelligence for being a spiritual person

  • @TheBlueSnake

    Tell you what, I will respect your beliefs, and quit attacking them, when those same beliefs do not inspire people to kill each other, retard the progress of man, or tell people its ok to deny others basic rights.

    Seriously, fuck religion. It has created more destruction, more death, and prohibited more progress than anything else in the history of man.

  • @boonw hey, if it's not religion it's race, if it's not race it's money, if it's not money it's another ideology like communism or capitalism. I'm a muslim and i get along with a lot of christians, atheists, jews and agnostics. why? two words: tolerance and understanding.

    if you're not a tolerant person you'll start a fight or a war for many many MANY reasons whether it was religion or not

  • Please enable embedding

  • @eksadiss Sorry but you tube won't allow it because its not my content.

  • I actually would've been really fascinated to see what Maher had to say about Atheists as well. The film does suffer from the fact that it doesn't offer at least SOME kind of argument FOR religion, but nevertheless it is very well thought and out and constructed.

  • @MysticDestroyer13 "The film does suffer from the fact that it doesn't offer at least SOME kind of argument FOR religion"

    Not really. If there are things that can be best accomplished by lying to, or threatening, people, you can undoubtedly accomplish it by more effective means than religion. You wouldn't need people to imagine Hell if we tortured people for months on end in public places for adultery or not doing their homework for example.

  • @MysticDestroyer13 Or perhaps we could make laws mandating that doctors should always tell people that they're in perfect health, no matter what the reality was. In fact, if we did this, we'd also save money on healthcare.

    I can only hope you weren't being serious.

  • @Gnomefro Pardon me if I sound a little perplexed, but I'm wondering where you pulled the doctor point out of. I was focusing more on reviewing the film as a whole. Since technically Atheism is a belief too, I would have been interested in what he had to say. That was all.

  • @MysticDestroyer13

    "Since technically Atheism is a belief too""

    No, it is not. Atheism is the lack of religion, and as such, is the lack of a beleif. Atheism is no more a belief than not collecting stamps is a hobby.

  • @boonw Atheism IS a belief because you BELIEVE that there is no God. Because Atheism is about not believing in a belief, one who follows this principle believes that Atheism is true. So it's a belief. If it isn't, than what is it supposed to be? A trait? A habit? I just find it easier to consider Atheism a belief.

    Besides, writers have had numerous disagreements about ho to classify Atheism anyway.

  • @MysticDestroyer13

    "Atheism IS a belief because you BELIEVE that there is no God"

    No, it isnt.Believing in god is a positive claim. If you are an atheist, you do not believe there is no god, you do not believe there is a god: it is a lack of belief. (the difference in those two sentences are subtle, see "is no/a")

    For example,if I said there was a magical T-rex in the backyard that couldnt be detected in any way. Now, not taking my word for it does not make it a belief, but rather a lack of.

  • @MysticDestroyer13

    "Besides, writers have had numerous disagreements about ho to classify Atheism anyway."

    4 kinds

    Weak atheist: Doesnt assert if there is a god or not, but sees no evidence to convince them there is one

    Strong atheist: Asserts there is no god beyond reasonable doubt.

    then either or can be agnostic as well (if there is a god, than any knowledge on it is unknowable)

  • @boonw Yeah, that's what we were taught in our "religious studies" class (which was kind of boring to take) :P And just like a religious ideology, Atheism has changed over the years as well.

    I just find it strange that because God isn't involved, people don't think Atheism is a belief. I can believe that my wife is a wonderful person, and it has nothing to do with God. Someone might think differently, and that's their belief too.

  • @MysticDestroyer13

    "I just find it strange that because God isn't involved, people don't think Atheism is a belief"

    No i has nothing to do with the fact no god is involved, its because the term describes that you dont believe in something.

    "I can believe that my wife is a wonderful person, and it has nothing to do with God"

    You are making a positive claim (your wife is a wonderful person), therefore, it is a belief.

  • @boonw But you BELIEVE that you don't believe in something. Making a claim that God does not exist, positive or negative depending on the person, is still a belief.

    BTW I'm loving this "little" discussion.

  • @MysticDestroyer13 You're very incorrect. No true Atheists believes that there is no god, we just think that there is no reason to believe there is one based on current empirical evidence.

    Belief is something a Christian has.

    Rejection/Lack of belief is what Atheists/Anti-Theists have.

    You can't reword statement and put the word, "Believe" in there to make it benefit you; argument don't work like that.

  • @Nemesis0300 Looking back at all of my old comments (which your comment actually prompted me to do), I think I got to hung up on trying to make a point rather than making sense. You and "boonw" are right, and I'm wrong. I just hope that this discussion will come to a rest.

  • My mom worked with the guy at 2:51 with the sunglasses on his head and the shirt with palm trees... I cannot believe a dude from Nowhere, USA (Mountains of North Carolina, where I live) got on this movie!

  • smh

  • I like how, for Bill Maher, "religion" seems to mean Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, and not any of the hundreds of other faiths on the planet.

  • @treorai In a single few-hour-documentary, he decided to discuss the bigger religions. A smart move if you ask me, since the major religions are Christianity, islam, and Judaism anyway. I like how you forgot to mention that he included Mormonism and Scientology. Now if you wanted him to talk about every single religion, instead of focusing on the main ones, that's a different story. That would take much more time and resources.

  • @treorai Does it matter? They're all bull shit.

  • Comment removed

  • I only watched half way but industrial environmental hazards aren't caused by religion.

  • @Daghead Seems to more be a compilation of mankind's destructive nature. Not religion.

  • He always gives me something to think about, and thats what we need to do just sit and think.

  • @vtechness "thats what we need to do just sit and think"

    I hope you aren't serious. If you want our species to continue to thrive then I suggest you don't sit and think, just off yourself now. "Just sit and think" is the least productive thing you can do. Thought without action is worthless. It's like revving the engine and spinning the tires.

    So please either do something worthwhile or pull the trigger, otherwise our precious food and oxygen will be consumed to fuel your sitting and thinking

  • Scientists are smart enough to see right through that kind of bullshit, but no matter how strong your anti-religious proof is, you will not convince the believer to stop believing.

    Some beliefs die so hard that they aren't gone until he people who believed in them are in the ground.

  • Jesus said it right the first time, Its not about religion!

    The key is to have a personal relationship with God.

  • Comment removed

  • @brandisify There is evidence Jesus was not real soooo...STFU

  • @Thizzilin I am an atheist, but you can't prove a negative so you can't say there is evidence that Jesus did not exist

  • “The plain fact is, religion must die for man to live” I Couldn't Agree With Him More.

  • @XposedDanny I'm sure all the ppl who lost someone they loved on 9/11 agrees as well. Bill Mahre is brilliant!

  • Acquiring nuclear weapons is a religious duty? Now that is chilling....I mean REALLY chilling. Its shit like this that makes me detest religion. I don't give a flying fucking nun how much good religion has done. If one...understand that....ONE GROUP of crazies get hold of a nuke, the consequences could be unspeakable. Unfortunately, that might be what it takes to make people wake from their happy little dream. Wanna pray for something? Pray I'm wrong, I will.......

  • fuckin retard

  • bill maher looks like a vampire

  • This is very true. Religion must die

  • Just wish I could share this on Facebook :-(

  • @Swempa78 Now why can't you share it on Facebook? Unless you don't have one obviously, lol.

  • @Revenwazhere Embeding is disabled and that sux because this is a great message to spread

  • @Swempa78 Oh. Well that sucks.

  • this is dumb really dumb hes acting like the dumb christians when they make those rapture videos so fuck this lol

  • the most powerful ending to any movie or anything else

  • tell it like it is Bill.

  • everyone in the whole world needs to see this

  • This Speech does indeed bring goosebumps...Makes you think...Can we treat this neurological disorder in order to save our kind?

    Infinite Kudos to Bill. One of the most honest and true speeches about the world and our kind I have ever heard. Perhaps THE most.

  • great vid, wish we could put it on ever TV all over the world and force the religious nuts to watch it

  • epic.

  • There is no place for ORGANIZED religion. Everyone should pursue spirituality as an individual. Preaching hate against all religion is creating exactly what this poor confused man is trying to rid the world of: ORGANIZED HATRED

  • god i wish they showed this in my school for science instead of the theory of evolution lol

  • goosebumbs. everytime.

  • ahahahahhah

  • @relvistcb Lawl, you mad?

  • @relvistcb listen you dumb bitch, you need to get common sense all religion is bullshit it is all faith (making a virtue out of not thinking) and as it is proven religion has caused more violence than anything else

  • @ANGRYMAN1234567 Killing in the name of God has been the biggest justification to take a life. Bill Maher's point is comepletely true. People use their perceptions of religion and take it to vast extremeties just so that the 'traitor' or the 'blasphemer' is punished or killed. Although it solves nothing.

  • @Raiderfan123 exactly

  • @relvistcb lol, you're a dumbass.

  • this is such a moving speech.he nails it.

  • I personally am FOR religion..............i mean come on!! Every rational thinker has to admit religious people are so fun to make fun of

  • @badatmathkid Hal Ay Lew Ya

  • agreed!

  • perfectly said bill
