If you're in the mood for provocative, irreverent commentary that challenges religious dogma with humor and skepticism, Bill Maher's globe-trotting doc is a sharp, entertaining ride—just know you're getting his particular brand of atheist polemic, not balanced inquiry. Skip it only if you can't handle having your beliefs poked at or you need something lighter for tonight.

Plot

Commentator-comic Bill Maher plays devil's advocate with religion as he talks to believers about their faith. Traveling around the world, Maher examines the tenets of Christianity, Judaism and Islam and raises questions about homosexuality, proof of Christ's existence, Jewish Sabbath laws, violent Muslim extremists.
