Religulous

Bill Maher, the American comedian and television host, travels to religious sites and communities around the world to question believers about their faith. He visits places including Jerusalem, the Vatican and Salt Lake City, speaking with Jews, Christians, Muslims and former Mormons, and raises subjects such as the existence of Jesus, Sabbath rules, homosexuality and religious extremism. The film mixes these interviews with Maher's own commentary on religion and its role in human life, and takes its title from a blend of the words "religious" and "ridiculous."

Larry Charles directed the film, which followed his work on Masked and Anonymous and Borat. Bill Maher wrote the screenplay with T. Rafael Cimino, and both also produced alongside Palmer West. Maher appears as himself, hosting and narrating, and the credited cast numbers 25, among them Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda, Andrew Newberg, Steve Burg, Tal Bachman and Jonathan Boulden.
