Maher is a self-proclaimed libertarian who supports the legalization of gay marriage, the death penalty, the legality of abortion and euthanasia (describing his position humorously as "pro-death") and racial profiling at airports. He favors partial privatization of social security, ending corporate welfare, and legalizing gambling, prostitution, and all drugs. He is very critical of organized religion, which he describes as a neurological disorder that spreads guilt and hatred among people while offering nothing in return. He calls himself an apatheist, which is a mixture of apathy and atheism, defined by a lack of belief in deities in general, rather than specific disbelief in any of them. Maher is a very colorful character, eloquent, witty and genuinely funny.
Sounds like a nightmare I once had...
