Jun 11 2008 'Religulous' Trailer Preaches to Some Sort of Non-Religious Choir
Looks like Bill Maher has picked up on Michael Moore and Morgan Spurlock's innovative style of "Something is bullshit, now let me tell you why--also, I'm the hilarious star!" documentary-making. Teamed up with Borat director Larry Charles, Maher has a new film coming out named for what I assume is a portmanteau of religious and ridiculous, Religulous. (Because religion is ridiculous.

Well done, Bill. It turns out religion isn't infallible! Using the pure logic that is the format of Leno's Jaywalking sketches, you've utterly destroyed the institution!

In keeping with the heated political discussions we've recently been having in the iwatchstuff.com comments section, today I bring you the news that Lionsgate will be releasing Bill Maher and Larry Charles' anti-religion documentary, A Spiritual Journey.
The film is said to “examine the presence of religion in many of the big news stories of recent years, from Muslim riots over cartoons to the Ten Commandments in front of courthouses, a born-again Christian in the White House and Scientology in the birthing room," and director Charles describes it as “Bill Maher vs. the Anti-Christ (or is Bill Maher the Anti-Christ?)”
I have no knowledge of whether he's the anti-Christ, but I do know that he's banged Ann Coulter, and if Joaquin Phoenix has taught me anything, it's that, "You dance with the devil, the devil don't change - the devil changes you."
He also taught me that hairlips can be sexy. No trailer for this yet, but stay tuned.
