My Review-

There are many different religions that all in way believe the same thing, that there is a god, Bill Maher is just trying to get a better understanding of it. Well at times he can make fun of the religions, because he does not understand why we believe in what we believe. It is interesting to see someone else's perspective on religion, even one who lost faith or stopped going to church at a young age. He interviews many people of different religions, or are hardcore religious people and asks them questions about the bible to see if he can get a straight answer out of them, and at the same time making fun of it or still make his own assumptions about the religion or what the bible says. When he does this he gets kicked out of the Vatican in Rome, and says what is on his mind with out getting an interview, and even gets kicked out of the yard of a Mormon church, he is pissing off people, and loving it because he is getting his point across. He even visits a place called "The Holy Land Experience", basically sort of a theme exhibit, and a museum about Jesus. This was quite an interesting documentary, because you heard the different views on the bible from different people who interpreted the bible differently. One of the more interesting religions to learn about was Mormonism, where the only knowledge I got from it at first was South Park, here we kind of get a better understanding of the religion. We also take a look at Jose Miranda who has 100,000 followers worldwide, who think he is "Jesus Christ". He believes that he is the second coming of Christ. This one was kind of weird that tons of people believe that he is the second coming, with him I believe it is a load of shit. I heard about him on the news before. This documentary was really interesting because as a viewer I got to see different peoples beliefs in the same exact religion that I have but, I still have some different views, that they would not like. The end of the movie was what also caught my eye of how the editing was done, was really fucking cool. Now I do recommend this movie if you want to learn about different religions or more about how people interpret the Bible differently from other people.  It is a very interesting watch for people who want to watch it, and Bill Maher is the perfect person for this documentary, because he is the type that speaks his mind and at times does not care what people think.
