Bill Maher
Bill Maher has definite thoughts on religion, and few if any are positive.
The same seems to go for his thoughts on Republicans, which makes it no surprise the comedian/political commentator is speaking out against Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett and her religious roots.
During Friday’s episode of HBO’s Real Time, Maher slammed Senate Democrats for not going harder on ACB over her Christianity while calling the wife and mother of seven “nuts.”
He dug in during a “New Rule” segment:
“New rule: Democrats have to stop talking about packing the Supreme Court, because it’s already packed — with Catholics.”

Justices Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, Sonia Sotomayor, and Neil Gorsuch — he pointed out — all have Catholic backgrounds.
As noted by The Daily Wire, Gorsuch later became an Episcopalian — or, as Bill described it, “a Catholic who flunked Latin.”
Apparently, Bill himself comes from a Catholic core.
From the Wire:
Maher lamented that if Barrett is confirmed, seven of the nine justices will be Roman Catholics, which he said he has “nothing against…except my entire upbringing.”
The entertainer tried to turn it around on believers of Jesus:
“If seven out of nine justices were Jews or Muslims or Buddhists, would that be okay? And if faith is this super-important element of life, as Barrett and her Republican supporters say it is, shouldn’t we have a healthier balance on our highest court?”
Of course, it isn’t just Republicans who are professed adherents of the Holy Church. That goes for Congresspeople as well.
As I covered in September, civil rights attorney (and former Democrat) Leo Terrell observed just such a thing.
Here’s what he had to say on Fox News, in response to a clip in which Maher predicted, “We’ll all be saying [Amy Coney Barrett’s] name a lot, I’m sure, ’cause she’s a f—in’ nut”:
“This is the part that I don’t understand. It is confusing — JFK: Catholic. Joe Biden: Catholic. Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi: Catholic.”
Two American patriots speaking truth about Democrats‼️@dbongino: Democrats are for defunding police, late term abortions, massive tax hikes…but we’re the crazy ones?@TheLeoTerrell: I had to get away from the asylum!

On Friday, Bill repeated the “N” word:
“Chuck Schumer said Democrats won’t make Barrett’s faith an issue, but they should because being nuts is relevant.”
Better judges, in Maher’s view: atheists.
“Atheists actually make better judges because we don’t have to work to separate church and state. We’re not torn between rational decision-making and what it says in the old book of Jewish fairy tales.”
He colored Amy, essentially, thoughtless:
“She’s been groomed since birth to overturn Roe v. Wade. She’s like the Terminator: a robot programmed to fulfill one task. Except she wasn’t sent from the future, she was sent from the past.”
Of course, Christianity is the largest religion in the world. Not just in the past, but in the present.
But as for Bill’s ridicule of Judge Barrett’s faith, while America endures more contentious hearings, I’d say there’s much, much more where that came from.
The HBO man asked a pointed question:
“[We (atheists and agonistics) are] 26% of the country. … Where’s our voice on the Supreme Court?”
If I had to guess, Bill, I’d say your time is rapidly approaching..
Ok, Bill, tell the Muslims that THEY are “nuts.”
RE: Ann Coulter’s boyfriend is ‘nuts’!
Are they still an item? I thought they broke off long ago.
“Bill Maher has definite thoughts on religion”
Does he? Or does he just have infantile prejudices and misconceptions?
The stupidest theory of all is that we’re all just here by random occurrence.
Behind the gym billyboy.
Because attacking Catholicism in an election year is a smart political move.
“Ok, Bill, tell the Muslims that THEY are “nuts.”
Never ever going to happen. Maher hates Christianity but, he loves his own life. Christians are an easy target. Christians do not have the concept of Jihad. He doesn’t have to fear for his life when he denigrates us.
It’s called evolution and it is one big lie which cannot be experimentally verified.

RE: Because attacking Catholicism in an election year is a smart political move.
I am VERY DISAPPOINTED with many Catholics. Many do not seem to care about moral issues like abortion,the sanctity of marriage and even religious freedom.
Even Priests and Bishops have FAILED to teach the importance of voting for someone whose POLICIES reflect one’s moral values.
Wow. I know being a mother is controversial nowadays and has its conflict of interests drawbacks, but this guy is stupid and heinous.
Democrats need to shoot themselves in the foot like that more often.
Motherhood vs career are not a zero sum game. THere is no “hard decisions” in abortion, this is a myth
Boy is he in for a rude awakening when he faces eternal judgment.
An atheist, by definition, makes policies that fit the circumstances, irredpective of morality.
Murder is a MORAL issue. I could easily craft a policy that is based on the utility of human life, not the infinite dignity of the God-given human soul. In fact, the unlamented rbg may have CALLED herself a Christian but she and every Justice who crafted the SCOTUS provided legislation enabling the murder of babies gave up their Christianity and humanity when they did so.
Don’t you love how atheists are always telling Christians how to worship their faith?
THere is a certain amount of people going to church who have no soul. I believe God is using the political parties to make to reveal to us who are the fakes in His church.
I am not talking to my daughter after she joined BLM as a church goer. Come to find out, she was wrong, it is not politics that divided me from her, it WAS HER! I could not discuss with her period about anything, she just pretended before.
She called Maher an “idiot” in one of her books.
One of these days Bill Maher is going to totally regret all the bullshit he has spewed .
I agree entirely.
