Religulous

I recently watched the documentary, Religulous. I haven't reviewed a documentary yet on here so this would be a good one to start with. It follows comedian Bill Maher and his quest to understand religion. It is basically a documentary about religion from the eyes of an atheist, with a comedic aspect to it. It was directed By Larry Charles.

The documentary begins with Maher describing his upbringing with a Catholic Father and Jewish Mother. From there, we watch as he interviews people from different religions about their own religions. He travels all over the world to conduct interviews. Some of the people he interviews are Catholic Priests and former Mormons. Maher intertwines humor within the interviews. Most of the humor comes from video clips mixed in with Maher's jokes.

This documentary will definitely be enjoyed by Agnostics and Atheists. Religious people with a sense of humor will probably also enjoy it. I can see some religious people being offended by the film. It does poke fun of religion a lot. The title of the film should give that away though. It was one of the recent documentaries where I have watched and really enjoyed.
