There aren't that many people out there willing to speak as frankly about religion as Bill Maher. These are a couple of pretty good videos.
I like how in this one he says that he believes in god, just not in religion.

Here's a quote of his that I really like...
Quote :
“One way you could perceive the afterlife, and the difference from this life, is life on Earth is filled with all sorts of dualities,” he explains. “It’s fractured. Everything is fractured. There’s man and woman. There’s past and present. There’s good and bad, heaven and hell, what you have and what you want. Everything is a duality, and that causes all the tension and pain in life.
“And, once in a while in life, when you kind of square that circle and make it something unified, when giving is receiving, when you feel like, ‘Oh, the greatest gift is that I gave to you,’ that is sort of touching the edge of heaven there,” he says. “When lust and love are completely aligned, when your work is your play. Whenever you’re squaring these dualities, that, to me, is a little taste of what a successful bridging of the afterlife might be.”

hey, I like the guy, but where does he get off stealing my line?
"I DO believe in God, I just don't believe in Religion - and I don't think God does, either".
