Are you one of the unfortunate souls who missed out on seeing Bill Maher’s documentary Religulous during its limited theatrical run in late 2008? That’s too bad: Maher’s religion-is-dangerous exposé became the seventh highest grossing documentary of all time, bringing in over $13M in 11 weeks (it kicked the snot out of Ben Stein’s not-so-thinly-veiled creationist propaganda piece Expelled, earning nearly twice what Expelled made in half the time and in half the theaters).
