Here's another way to look at it. In my experience, the people who shout about their faith the loudest, wear it on their sleeve, and judge other's behavior are usually the ones trying to deflect and hide their own dirty little secrets. Most of the "real" Christians I know--the ones who actually go about the business of trying to follow in the steps of Christ--tend to be pretty humble people. They don't need to demonstrate their faith to the world because their personal relationship with God is strong and secure.
Maher is trying to convince his lemmings that being humble in your religion can be interpreted as not being religious at all. I'm sure they'll believe him, because like Maher, they WANT to believe that Obama is a secular humanist rather than a Christian.
So, do 'heavy' Christians preach hatred as part of their dogma?
I personally find the term "Christian lite" kind of offensive, because it implies that unless you're a bible waving fundamentalist, you're not a real Christian, or you're a "lite" Christian. Most mainline protestants don't go down that path, but they do focus on living life in a Christ like way. Actions speak much louder to me than words.
Yes, a lot of them do. Not most, but its a part of the Christian mind set.
What would you call a hardcore Christian? Someone who believes that every word of the bible is Gods word? Remember the bible says to kill homosexuals. Is that Gods word too?

I've often found the same thing.
Its like they are trying to secure their own faith by trying to convince others that they are right.
Hmm...I thought Maher had "evolved" past the archaic idea of marriage?
Maher has never been married. He did date that playboy woman for a year, and she sued him because she said he promised to marry her, but they were never married.

Yes! After his disaster with the Playboy bunny, Cocoa, or some silly name like that, I believe he has officially written off the institution of marriage. lol!
Maybe it hurt his bottom line a bit too much. You know, where it hurts.
The pocket book.

Oh, excuse me. You maybe correct. I thought he walked her down the aisle. Maybe I got it mixed up since I read she tried to sue him.
