Story is here.
The issue isn't so much religion vs. atheism (I am in the latter camp, btw). It is that religion gets shoved down everyone's throat. I don't care if people think the earth or the universe was created by God or electron particles or whatever it is you want to believe. It is the enforcement of these views to the suppression of others (under the rubric of "punishing blasphemy,"---a corporate us vs. them tactic) that disturbs me.
Why can't we just be reasonable people who have our private beliefs and we can agree to disagree? But no, the evangelicals can't mind their own business and so every segment of American life has to be Christianized in their eyes, even to the point of wanting to control the private intimate lives of folks.
And Maher's film is symptomatic of the backlash that overweening behavior by religious nuts creates. Just relax you guys.
