Bill Maher’s interesting documentary examines faith and politics, presenting a large amount of statistics and arguments against organized religion. While I don’t know the accuracy of those stats, there was an interesting one: 93% of scientists in the American National Academy of Sciences are atheist or agnostic. I didn’t expect that number to be so high.
Bill Maher knows his stuff. He’s well read, and although opinionated and an athiest, he is knowledgeable about religion and he makes some of the priests/ministers/religious leaders look foolish. Some of that is probably film editing, but in general, he didn’t come across anyone that was able to really come up with any valid arguments to Maher’s questions.
