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..
To be fair he calls Muslims “nuts” a lot, he does the whole “all religions are bad” thing and points out the hypocricy of liberals talking down Chriostianity but not Islam etc. Ben Afleck called Maher a bigot for his opinion on it ha
Not that I agree with his take
This is what I might see a college age kid do who was trying to be edgy. Not a grown man. Sickening. As if he has a right to criticize anyone on their mental status.
And yet she sees fit to go on his show..
yes but once in awhile we do crusades and the well thought out/armed ones were successes
He's an antisemite too?
“yes but once in awhile we do crusades and the well thought out/armed ones were successes”
The Christians back those many many decades ago were not the same Christians of our current era. Current Christians overall are weak/submissive.
A great many have bought into the PC/SJW/Socialist/Communist culture. And, it’s not just the Flock.
It’s the Pastors, Priests, Reverends, etc...there is very little Christian leadership or Biblical Based Christian Teaching in the Christian world today. It’s mostly watered down pap.
How sickening
A man of the jewish faith trying to persecute others for their religion, a religion that is a cornerstone of Western Civilization, the man has no sense of decency or shame. If Maher has been put in a concentration camp in Nazi Germany he would have been a despicable kappa and worked for the Germans. Disgusting.
burn in hell, a$$hat.
<< A man of the jewish faith >>
He’s of the Atheist faith who grew up Catholic and had an Irish-Catholic dad and a Hungarian Jewish mom.
Regards,
Wow! Maher has betrayed both sides of his heritage.
I completely agree. At the same time, many are protective of their status and attacking it is seen as attacking them.
This is how the Hollywood Left keeps themselves relevant. It is getting old.
Atheism is a faith and Bill Maher is a zealot in his defense of it.
Atheists also make great mass murderers, the most prolific in history. Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler and Pol Pot were all atheists!
