I do not watch Bill Maher's show usually, but I do support his views on most topics. In the film, Maher takes on global religion. He travels all around interviewing members of several faiths both followers and those preaching the particular faiths. The film is obviously liberal slanted, but you have to at least see where he is coming from with some of his questions and interviews. Maher asks some of the simplest questions and can never find the answers.
He takes on religion and basically rips it apart. He does not come out and say religions are bogus, but rather uses his interviewees to do the talking. It is the interviewees that truly show you his beliefs on religion. Question after question is answered differently by each religion or no answer is found.
Although this film may not be for anyone overly religious, I still recommend it. Not as a film that my offend or insult your faith, but as an eye opener. You may or may not like the film, but it is worth seeing the overview of the religions of the world and how none of them jive with one another.

008 - Metal: A Headbanger's Journey
Director: Sam Dunn
Year: 2005
As the title suggests this film follows Sam Dunn around the world as he explores the world of metal. Sam sets out on a global journey to find out why metal is consistently stereotyped, dismissed and condemned. Dunn also explores the roots of metal including sexuality, religion, violence and death.
This film is made by metaheads for metalheads. No matter your metal of choice, Dunn's rockumentary is worth a watch. Some of the most famous names in the metal world make appearance and some are interviewed. This film is not for everyone, as Dunn, a metalhead, states it perectly in the line, "you either feel it or you don't. If metal doesn't give that overwhelming surge of power that makes the hair stand up at the back of your neck, you might never get it, and you know what? That's okay, because judging by the 40,000 metalheads around me we're doing just fine without you."
