I challenge you to debate Bill Maher's point at the 2:20 mark. He makes a point that really can't be argued, but you can certainly try.

Exactly.
All religious people are atheist to all but one god (the one that happens to be their god). We just go one step further.

Maher is an idiot. A hateful slug who takes enjoyment in trashing America and irritating people. I take nothing he says seriously if at all.
That said, I believe in GOD. I do however have serious issues at times with organized religion. Man is corrupt by nature and incapable of maintaining a pure house of worship in a governmental style organization. The bible itself tells of man's corrupt of the Jewish temple and we all know of the Catholic Church over the centuries and others who use the pulpit for selfish returns. I have chosen over the years to worship GOD without the assistance of organized religion as an anchor. The times I have tried I left disappointed and even disgusted. It truly is a one on one relationship and I feel complete without the need for group therapy. I give to charity out of desire not tithe at the church. I have more concern for the unbelievers then I do for those who respect an organized church.

It's the churchy people who point the fingers at others, who are actually doing the worst things behind closed doors.

There are many unbelievers who kill in the name of their sick minds and point fingers just for the sake of being assholes too. I choose to respect individuals for who they are and what they represent. Their religion or lack of, as is mine is personal and private

Their religion or lack of, as is mine is personal and private The difference is that those believe force it down the throat of those that don't. Be it in life, politics and pretty much everything else. Just look at all the candidates for the republican nomination (besides Ron Paul) - a bunch of religious freaks that want to tell the rest of America how to live and what laws they plan to either pass or turn over because of Jesus. I don't want someone like that in the White House or any higher up position. The idea of an athiest President sounds not any amazing, but progressive. America would finally join the rest of the world into the 21st century.

Excuse me but when you speak of Republicans who want to tell people how to live no one has forced up the asses of the American people lifestyle changes as Barack Asshole Obama. His heathnoncare fiasco, massive over regulation in every department of the federal government and bankruptcy of the federal reserve is way more destructive then some people speaking to live a clean life. I don't know why you are so hateful of certain people.
