You don't have to be Alexander Pope to make fun of fools, which is what Bill Maher does.
I wonder though, does he make fun of black Hoodoo or African animists too? Does he call the people who celebrate the Mexican day of the Dead, retarded shitheads too? Does laugh at Native Americans and their silly belief systems?
I bet not. I bet he's smarter than to say something offensive against people who actually have a vested interest in not being singled out by Bill Maher's insane bigotry.
Everyone else's beliefs look stupid to someone else too, Bill. Don't forget that the Left's Demi-God, Noam Chomsky continues to this day to support and defend his support of Pol Pot's regime in Cambodia. If that's not retarded religious fervor, nothing is.
