"People behave ethically all the time without relying on myths"
Oh really now? Well where do you think your sense of "ethics" comes from?
I highly suggest this man invest in a Philosophy 101 course or something. I find anyone who makes anti religious platitudes and still holds on to conventional morality, unaware of how morality got here in the first place, to sound more ridiculous than people who actually do walk the walk and can tell you exactly where their moral compass orients.
If Maher were an actual nihilist, or at least made some note of the huge philosophical conundrum he has obviously blindly stumbled into, I might buy some of his diatribes.
Instead he's just a dumb kid rebelling against everything he sees without a cause or a clue.
I'm not really mad at him, just ashamed so many morons are going to completely miss this point thanks to a comedian playing iconoclast.
Congratulations you fucking idiot.
