“”Religulous” is blatant about Maher’s feelings: religion is bad. All religions are bad. “

One can be a Christian and say that all religions are bad. They are man-made entities. But an atheist, like Maher, isn't just attacking religions, he is attacking anyone who believes in a Supreme Being.

Exactly. I've personally seen how people can be driven away from belief by judgement by fervent Christians. One can also be an athiest, I think, and show some respect for the 97% who believe in a Supreme Being. Maher doesn't do that. I suspect he had an especially bad experience as a Catholic in his younger years.

Does anyone else find it ironic that Maher incoherently calls religions "bad" as if he had an absolute good/bad standard of morality to measure them against? There can be no "progress" towards good or reduction of "evil" if there is no absolute divine moral standard.

Otherwise it's just Maher trying to shove his personal opinion of what's right down everyones' throat. But he could wake up on the other side of the bed tomorrow and reverse his ideas of good/bad, and in an atheistic universe either personal standard would be just as valid. "Good" and "evil" are bunk in a naturalistic universe - the meaningless products of meaningless collisions of particles in a meaningless universe.

A Christian who holds to the Bible cannot say all religions are purely man-made:

"Thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my church."

Does God use sinful people in building His church? Sure, but that doesn't mean it's permitted to condemn wholesale what Christ Himself said He would build. A Christian can condemn the sins and the excesses of sinful Christians, but cannot condemn religion in toto.
