Bill Maher interviews some of religions oddest adherents. Muslims, Jews and Christians of many kinds pass before his jaundiced eye. Maher goes to a Creationist Museum in Kentucky, which shows that dinosaurs and people lived at the same time 5000 years ago. He talks to truckers at a Truckers Chapel. (Sign outside: "Jesus love you.") He goes to a theme park called Holy Land in Florida. He speaks to a rabbi in league with Holocaust deniers. He talks to a Muslim musician who preaches hatred of Jews. Maher finds the unlikeliest of believers and, in a certain Vatican priest, he even finds an unlikely skeptic.
Comedian and commentator , who grew up Catholic of a Catholic father and Jewish mother, believes that organized religion is a detriment to the progress of society. He also believes that many tenets of the various religions worldwide will end up being self-fulfilling prophecies because man can now achieve them. He has trouble understanding the long held tenets that, if described today in any other western context, would be deemed crazy, such as the story of Jonah and the big fish, or a virgin birth. Maher has discussions with leaders and followers of various religions, both in the mainstream and on the fringe, to try and understand why their beliefs are so strong, while both sides try to convince the other to see things from the other side. Specifically with United States based Christianity, he has discussions with those associated on what seem to be the inherent incompatible beliefs of Americans, such as between religion and science, nationalism, and consumerism, as well as the incongruence between the purported plain life of Jesus against the wealthy opulence of modern day Christian monuments and most Christian leaders. Although focused primarily on Christianity, he looks at Judaism, Islam and what may be considered more fringe religions such as Mormonism and Scientology, not only in and of themselves, but also their tolerance, or what is more often their intolerance for views other than their own, including that of other religions.
