** A better example:
{{quote|'''Bill:''' Jonah living inside of the whale... and their answer, unfailingly, is: "the Bible doesn't say whale, it says big fish." Oh yeah, big fish... [[Sarcasm Mode|now THAT makes sense]]! I'm sorry, I was obsessing on that was a whale! It's a big fish. Of course you can live for three days in a big fish. A tuna. A tuna. [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene|They do it all the time in Japan.]] They have tuna spas. [[Overly Long Gag|You go for three days, they pamper you, oils... you come out of that tuna, feeling... fantastic.]]}}
** This exchange, to a certain extent:
{{quote|'''Bill:''' It worries me that people who are running my country believe in a talking snake.
Line 32:
** It's even funnier because that park was used by nutjobs to preach outlandish beliefs, and ''even then'', the real beliefs of Scientology looked crazier by comparison.
* [[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--topicsbook—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, [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."
