Bill Maher has revealed a possible new title for the documentary which he filmed with Larry Charles (Borat). “Religulous”, a combination of religion and ridiculous, will follow Bill Maher’s take on the current state of world religion, which is clearly an Agnostic view.

“I hope people laugh. We’ve shown ten minutes. That’s all we have so far, we’re still cutting it together. But the ten minutes we’ve shown, and I’ve seen it shown to audiences twice, they laugh so hard because the topic of religion is just so inherently funny. I mean, politicians are funny because they promise things that they can never deliver on. And the gap between what they promise and what they deliver is great fun for humor - for people like Mark Twain to people of our own day have demonstrated. What religious people promise: Your own planet? [Laughs] C’mon, that’s a little beyond social security!”

The filming, who has a working title A Spiritual Journey, was filmed around the world. The filmmakers went everywhere where there was religion. They went to Vatican City, Jerusalem, and Salt Lake City. “And I think I’ve insulted everybody!” Maher said about his journey.

As of yet, nothing has been officially announced by Lionsgate but Maher’s current plan is to release the film in Easter.
