Not a religious person myself, I have noticed that western morality is all too often denegrated. I have noticed that fundamentalist Christians are NOT usually found flying jumbo jets on suicide missions into the icons of Islam. But that can't be said about the Islamic fundamentalist.
Maybe Bill Maher needs to focus on WHICH fundamentalist religious group are the evil, destructive ones, and which ones are beneficial to maintaining the nations good moral fiber.
I'd be interested in seeing his list of "more enlightened" nations.
I think his real issue with Christians in particular is morality. He lives a certain way that is contrary to Christian living and it bothers his conscience.
