After all his trash-talking of Christianity over the years, it’s unusual to see Bill Maher have a moment or two of unexpected lucidity on the
Charlie Rose show:
* * * * *
Bill Maher: There
are illiberal beliefs that are held by vast numbers of Muslim people.
Charlie Rose: A
vast number of Christians too.
BM: No, no. That’s
not true. Not true. Vast numbers of
Christians do not believe that if you leave the Christian religion you should
be killed for it. Vast numbers of Christians do not treat women as second-class
citizens. Vast numbers of Christians do not believe that if you draw a picture
of Jesus Christ, you should get killed for it.
