Ben Stein's Expelled isn't the only ridiculous movie attached to an even more ridiculous publicity campaign.
Bill Maher, the HBO host who still allows Arianna Huffington on the show, teamed with Borat director Larry Charles for Religulous, named after, of course, the combination of "religion" and "ridiculous." The documentary, dubbed "the nonfiction film about the greatest fiction ever told," focuses on various religious sects, "including Jews for Jesus, Muslims, polygamists, Satanists, Hasidic Scholars and even Rael of the Raelian Movement."
And though you'll have to wait until October to catch the film in theatres, if the religious right lets it even get that far, Maher & Co. have already set up a website to push their agenda. It's Disbeliefnet.com, a simple and clever take on the surprisingly valuable Beliefnet.com, which is now owned by News Corp., that you can troll for the next few months learning about exciting groups like the Neturei Karta, "an anti-Zionist sect of Orthodox Judaism that denounces the Israeli government as heretics for its efforts to obtain and secure a sovereign state before the return of the Messiah."
The Neturei Karta is an anti-Zionist sect of Orthodox Judaism that denounces the Israeli government as heretics for its efforts to obtain and secure a sovereign state before the return of the Messiah. In the group’s efforts to block the premature Jewish occupation of Jerusalem, some members have even gone so far as to endorse Yassir Arafat and befriend Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan – two of the most outspoken anti-semites in history.
Even if your enemy’s enemy is your friend, the Neturei Karta would do well to put aside their support of the PLO and its brethren. If the Messiah comes back tomorrow, they’re going to have a lot of explaining to do. [DBN]

Like all atheist websites I've seen, it's boring. Too bad. The problem with uniting atheists, is there's nothing really to say. These are, for the most part, people that want to spend their time NOT thinking about religion. You can only say Jesus is bullshit in so many ways. I give the site 6 months.
This site is HILARIOUS!!! I could spend hours on here just laughing to myself. . .what a great marketing tool!
The Raelian Movement seems to me to make more sence than any other religion I have studied. I think it is verry sad that this webmaster feels the need to put down something he is not farmiliar with and does not seem to understand. Not only do the Raelians seem to be preaching the truth, they are constantly doing humanitarian aid work to make the world a better place…. Good luck Raelians and if you want to know more check them out for yourself and make your own decision at http://www.Rael.org
