"I Think That Religion Stops People From Thinking."

Bill Maher seems to have a very high opinion of people of religious faith.

Yes, weare a nation that is unenlightened because of religion. I do believe that. I think that religion stops people from thinking. I think it justifies crazies. I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder. If you look at it logically, it‘s something that was drilled into your head when you were a small child. It certainly was drilled into mine at that age. And you really can't be responsible when you are a kid for what adults put into your head.

But when you become an adult,
you can then have it drilled out. And you should.

Well, I am a Christian, but it didn't happen to me as a child. In fact, I was 30 years old. I would NEVER want to back to my old life. NEVER!

I would love to respond further, but I just can't seem to think........

Bill Maher - Enlightened?

Are you a Christian? Muslim? Jew? Hindu? A person of any religious faith at all? Well if you are then many Americans seem to think you are a person with mental problems. Yes, you are a basket case according to some on the political left. You are, according to these folk's logic, a closed-minded, non-thinking, person with no belief in science or rationality. Gee, I wonder what they really think.............
