Bill Maher Boxes With God In Religulous

Does religion make us crazy, or does it keep us away from the edge of insanity? This is the question that Superhead’s ex boyfriend Bill Maher addresses in an upcoming documentary called Religulous, which will hit theatres on October 3. Directed by Larry Charles (Borat, Seinfeld), the film features interviews with a wide variety of believers and religious figures, from Christian Senators to Gay Muslim activists.

“I wanted to make a documentary, and I wanted it to be funny,” says Maher, who is famously anti-organized religion. “In fact, since there is nothing more ridiculous than the ancient mythological stories that live on as today’s religions, this movie would try to be a real knee-slapper. Unless, of course, you’re religious; then you might not like it.” Watch the trailer after the jump.
