Umm...[edit]

Umm...delete? There's really nothing here, and I have nothing to contribute. Researcher 19:57, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Meh, it has potential for more, it is as on mission as Expelled at least. 24.141.255.97 20:04, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
Yes, this one is very much on mission. It just needs expanded somewhat. ArmondikoVbomination 20:08, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Better question[edit]

Anything we can possibly link to this? Researcher 20:24, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Probably not easily. It will have to settle for being de-orphaned by its category for now. Down the road, if the film is any good, perhaps people will mention it in articles and talk pages? ħumanUser talk:Human 01:56, 30 September 2008 (EDT)
Categories don't really de-orphan...hmmm...Researcher 00:30, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

Popularity comparison with Expelled[edit]

"Religulous netted a gross of $3.5 million in its opening weekend on 502 screens, resulting in a $6,972 per screen average (second among major new releases).[1] In contrast, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed managed only a meager $2,824 per screen in its opening weekend. [2]"

Why is this relevant?

I won't deny it's reassuring that a propaganda film spreading the views we're rooting for is somewhat more popular than a propaganda film by The Enemy, but I gather this is supposed to be an encyclopedia of rationality. Is there a rational reason to compare these films like this? Fyrius (talk) 11:08, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

RW is not an encyclopǣdia. Green Giant (talk) 11:15, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Noted. (I'm new here, still getting to know the place.) Fyrius (talk) 11:51, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Quotes[edit]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0815241/quotes This is just one of those highly quotable films. Scarlet A.pngd hominem 02:56, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

"Takes the piss out of religion"[edit]

What does it mean to take the piss out of something? — Unsigned, by: Trmyers / talk / contribs 2013-01-29T02:55:12

It means to mock something. Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 03:05, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Horus-Jesus connection[edit]

Shouldn't there be something in here about how it mentions the inaccurate claim that Jesus came from Ancient Egyptian beliefs? It's ripped straight from Zeitgeist. 71.255.171.58 (talk) 07:54, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Sure if you want to add it under a new section about inaccuracies go a head.--Owlman (talk) 08:02, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
