Under the banner of a documentary, objectively speaking, this film is actually more like a TV show on a talk show. At least the attitude of the downright anti-religious person Bill has directly stated that this show is a dish of religious satire. Taking into account the differences in tastes of each person, it is understandable whether you can swallow it or not, but I have always had a strong interest in religion anyway.
From the perspective of an outsider, religion does not necessarily mean absurdity, but religion certainly has absurdities.
Judging from the religious believers interviewed in the film, many people have been enslaved by doctrine in the depths of their minds, and they have become accustomed to blindly trusting without thinking, and irrationally strive to promote their own orthodoxy. Once questioned, believers always habitually deliberately persuade pagans. This can be seen in the film. It seems natural that the aggressiveness of religion is unknowingly revealed.
This kind of belief in doctrine has touched me personally. Some Catholic believers I know around always do their best to influence your belief. The praise is that God will save you an ignorant life without faith. The derogation is like Engaging in pyramid schemes drags people into the water in a cycle. In many cases, when dissidents’ questioning speech touches religious sensitivities, freedom of speech is always lost to the sacred religious beliefs that do not allow any slander. On the other hand, when believers encounter dissidents who stick to their own opinions, they always consciously choose to avoid it. Therefore, we can see in the show that Bill yells "Come on" towards believers who refuse to answer-no, no, no Ah, don't fool around, I'll run away.
In this regard, the absurdity of religion can be understood as its stubbornness, as the arrogant affirmation of the believers' own beliefs and its irrational abandonment of the essence of everything that should be considered.
This kind of stubbornness of each person is not afraid. The key is that in human history, politics has always been accompanied by religion. In fact, once religion is linked to politics, it is easy to expose its fragile side and break away from the innocence of religion itself. Faith derives religious extremism, generates fanatical crowds, and leads to violent conflicts. This is also where religion is most criticized.
The controversy over the pros and cons of religion is an endless topic, at least for now, the comfort and pain it brings to mankind will continue.
However, when Bill angrily denounced the arrogant religious believers that "you don't have any spirit that I don't have", I believe that religion is by no means the only way for humans to solve their own lack of faith and mental confusion. Sometimes, in the face of religious lobbying, we may even need your attitude like "I'm sorry, I will deal with my own thoughts and spiritual problems by myself, so I won't bother you and Jesus."
