Line 13:
* [[Chewbacca Defense]]: The interview with Ken Ham and a few other examples.
* [[Church Militant]]: Bill isn't too fond of these types.
* [[
** During his interview with the head of the Creationist organization Answers in Genesis, Ken Ham:
{{quote|'''Ken:''' God is all knowing, all powerful, He works in mysterious ways.
Line 33:
* [[Manipulative Editing]]: A number of interviews Bill Maher conducted were later revealed to involve this, as several sources reported:
** Bill did this to Francis Collins, the Christian scientist who headed the Human Genome Project. [http://blog.beliefnet.com/stevenwaldman/2008/10/the-case-against-religulous-th.html Bill Maher deliberately misled Collins into accepting an interview] on the premise that it would be about his book, ''The Language of God'' (which deals with science and faith). Instead, Bill Maher confronted Collins with questions on topics unrelated to his book—topics he admitted that he's not an expert on (such as the historicity of the Gospels). Maher then used select clips to make Collins appear dumbstruck before these "tough questions."
** Two other scientists, Dean Hamer and Andrew Newberg, were also victims of selective editing, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130911132713/http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/agnostic_machinery/ as this article in Seed Magazine shows].
* [[Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions]]: Invoked by Bill at the end of the film with the demand that the audience "grow up or die."
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: "You see so many nice people trying to make it about something good and yet it turns into not just corrupt, but, like, fucking little kids corrupt."
Line 43:
* [[Religion of Evil]]: The film attempts to portray Islam above all as this.
* [[Stealth Insult]]: Bill makes this several times in his interviews, the one that takes the cake is the aforementioned interview with Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda.
* [[Surprisingly Similar Stories]]: Invoked by Bill to point out the similarities between the stories of [[Jesus Christ]] and other deities like Mithra, Bacchus, Horus and many more. Of course, there's a slight problem in that the stories of Mithra, Horus, Bacchus and many more are [[Sadly Mythtaken|not really like what Bill Maher thinks]].
* [[Who Writes This Crap?]]: His reaction while reviewing the beliefs of several religions, like Mormonism and Scientology.
* [[You Keep Using That Word]]: During an interview with a United States Senator who believes in creationism, he uses the word "indigous", which the subtitles note isn't really a word ([[Don't Explain the Joke|he was probably thinking of "indigenous"]]).
