Bill Maher: Religion, Atheists, & Torture genre: Hip-Gnosis & Tongue-In-Cheek & Video-Philes
I thought this clip was very interesting because it seems to be related to my prior posting on "Does Science Need Religion To Have A Conscience" which you can read here. Reza Aslan, author of the book No God But God is part of the panel. He makes some interesting observations about the origin of religions and how they are often based upon the views of men like Jesus and Muhammad who acted as critics of the world in which they lived. He argues that the followers subsequently shape the religion and it's doctrines to meet their beliefs.
