Losing My Religion

I probably shouldn't go to any movie when I stay up until 3:30 the night before! How could I not doze here and there? So I'm not sure I can give "Religulous" a fair rating.
However, based upon what I saw of it, it wasn't necessarily a great film, rather a film driven by a great concept. In his skepticism about organized religion, Bill Maher somehow comes off as a genuinely curious investigator, not a bombastic attacker like Michael Moore.
He's not even the comedian here; the people he interviews are funny enough on their own. And hysterically so. You can't write that stuff!
I'm tempted to compare this to "Jesus Camp", but where that was terrifying, "Religulous" is merely amusing.
