Faith vs Belief: A review of Religulous

Earlier this week I went to see "Religulous", Bill Maher's documentary directed by Larry Charles (who brought us "Borat") about organized religion.

Maher interviews a dozen or so people representing various faiths, to ask (challenge?) them questions, often about the silliest parts of their faith: Jonah living in a whale! Faith can turn gay people straight! Magical mormon undergarments!

He also focuses how religion can sometimes bring out the worst in us, which I believe (ha) is more true now than ever.
