I particularly think he made a good point about some televangelists. However, it would be a hasty generalization to say that all televangelists are necessarily like him. I prefer to think that everything is really more complicated than it appears- meaning that individuals and circumstances can vary.

What I can't reconcile is the self proclaimed *skeptic Maher* and the *alternative medicine/quackery subscribing Maher*. You really start to wonder what his line of reasoning would have been for him to embrace atheism (antitheism or apatheism even).

Have you seen Religulous? In that, most of the arguments for religion are sort of the ad ignorantiam menioned above.
