MAHER: Yes, we are a nation that is unenlightened because of religion. I do believe that. I think that religion stops people from thinking. I think it justifies crazies. I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder.

Maher makes a living by saying stupid outrageous things. He also said he is embarrassed by America because it "has been taken over by people like evangelicals, by people who do not believe in science and rationality". But, of course, there is no left-wing bias in the media.

Maybe he ought to say things like that on "Politically Incorrect."
Oops, too late!

Maher who? The failed comedian? Is he still around? Can't he get a job somewhere?

Shut up and put your hand down, Maher. No one called on you.

That's funny! I've always thought that Bill Maher was a neurological disorder!
Sadly, the left always sees themselves as gods. False idolatry gets you nowhere, Friend.

What a literal jerk-off...someday, guaranteed, he will look back at his life and rue his ignorant comments in this life.

I'm afraid Bill Maher's best work is done in the early AM just after a PM session at Taco Bell.

Interesting how people like this never mention the multiple millions tortured and murdered in the name of secular ideologies like fascism and communism. Abuses by religious groups pale in comparison.

Your 15 minutes are way past over Bill. You better quit before you end up with a show on CNBC. I wouldn't wish that even on you man.

Bill Maher always insists that he is a Libertarian. He obviously confuses terms. Liberal ( yes). Libertine (yes). Libertarian (no).

Please name one Christian that has flown a crowded plane into a building because of his faith.
To: advance_copy
What a dope.
He's got it completely backwards.
It is God who sends His light into the world -- and it is by that light that we are enlightened,
To: advance_copy
I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative.
For crying out loud, you could say the atomic bomb was a result of "science and rationality," and while it would be more true, it wouldn't be the complete truth.
Oh wait, I don't have to go to the trouble to refute Bill "Nerve-wrackingly ugly" Maher because, honestly, if you're a lib and you can't keep a television show, how lame are you?

It could be worst, he could end up on "Hollywood Squares".
