Bill Maher in "Religulous" was rude in some ways, because he did criticize
religions. However, when he explained how some religions force or impose their
beliefs on others, I agreed with the idea that people should be free to have
religious discussions and not feel afraid. Also, he stressed the concept of “doubt”
and how it’s okay to have it. And I agree with that, sometimes people argue on
matters even with they're wrong just to stay adamant in their claims. What I had a
problem with was how he was very a staunch believer in promoting Athiesm, instead of arguing
that religions may not have the right answer and they may also not be wrong either.
Doubt could work for him too. He should also be able to critique science and how
he lives. He should try to see the positives in religion too. He said the absence of religion would solve problems, but what about how religion can solve problems? It was a hasty generalization.
