Jennifer Hahn at The Scoop, the USC Knight Chair in Media and Religion blog, writes about Bill Maher’s new documentary, Religulous:

Maher wants us to believe that the world is made up only of secular rationalists, as he calls himself, and religious fanatics like Palin and the subjects of his film. If the press falls into the trap of simply agreeing with Maher or dismissing him, we will miss an opportunity to intercede with a more nuanced discussion of faith and politics in this country. Not all religious people are irrational, thinly-veiled theocrats, just waiting to impose their bizarre beliefs on the rest of us.
