He once called organized religion a bureaucracy between him and God that he didn't need, implying, to me, that he believes in something supernatural, though obviously not the Judeo-Christian idea. That contradicts what I understand to be the definition of atheism, which is a belief in the physical observable world and nothing more. Is that incorrect?

Opening at $2000 means the film made less for the studio than it cost them to print and ship the physical prints to theatres. “Rheinhard, FWIW, Bill Maher isn’t an atheist. ”

I’m pretty sure he is.

The big problem with going out and asying, "I'm going to make a liberal movie!!" or "I'm going to make a conservative movie!!" is that you end up simply didactic rather than funny, informative, provocative, or entertaining.
