Bill has, sadly, chimed in as a perfect example of the New Atheism movement:

Belittling replaces rational exchange.
Straw-men replace comprehension about that which one argues against.
Prejudicial and disjointed thinking (from imaginary friends to Bush and beyond).

Yet, what else are we to expect from an adherent of a worldview that makes one think “I am right and the overwhelming majority of the whole planet’s population for all of humanity’s history is wrong”?

It is the Marianos out there, with their imaginary friends, who Maher exposes to thunderous laughter and applause. And it is the Marianos out there who gave us George Bush–the epitome of the Marianos’ anti-intellectualism AND its fruit as Nicholas Kristof so eloquently noted in the NYT

This will certainly be an interesting project.
I wonder if he will tackle the faith of atheism.
The difficulty will be to take him seriously. After all, people excuse his unfathomable ignorance on the fact that “he is just a comedian.”
I could see people committing the ad hominen based on the fact that even if religious faith is fallacious, if the alternative is to be like Maher then, “No thanks.” Let’s face it, he is certainly not the best, or even mediocre, example of anything that could even be imagined to be decent.
He thinks that incestuous pedophilia is hilarious (http://lifeanddoctrineatheism.blogspot.com/2008/03/bill-mahers-sad-anniversary.html), he rejoices when people such as Jerry Falwell dies (as did Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens: http://lifeanddoctrineatheism.blogspot.com/2008/02/quadripartite-equine-riders-were-just.html), etc., etc., etc.
Maher has two difficult mountains to climb: he is a clown trying to make a serious point and he is sadly of very, very poor character even while trying to belittle others.
