Maher to Stewart: ‘Drugs are good, religion is bad’ and Obama’s spirituality is ‘bullsh*t’

62. I agree with what you are saying here.

I am being somewhat hypocritical because I think that many fundamentalist politicians are shysters and crooks. I think they fabricate their religious position and manipulate and use those who are truly religious in order to gain power.

For example, I think Paul Ryan is a true Randian and as such, is probably also a true atheist.

So, I also do not take some people at their word and think they are lying about their religion.

Maher really pushes my buttons because he position is basically that only stupid people are religious and anyone who is actually smart is probably just lying if they say they are religious. That's so arrogant and so offensive.

But he also has some attitudes towards women that reveal his underlying bigotry.

I soothe myself by noting that he is most likely a very fragile narcissist and all of this is just a shell to cover up his own deep seats insecurities about his own spirituality and sense of masculinity, lol.
