Bill Maher unbaptizes Romney's dead father-in-law: 'By the power granted to me by the Blair Witch... I call upon the Mormon Spirits to leave your body the f*ck alone'

There is a growing trend in this country that needs to be called out. And that is to label any evidence-based belief a religion. Many conservatives now say that belief in man-made climate change is a religion. And Darwinism is a religion. And of course, atheism, the total lack of a religion is somehow a religion too, according to the always-reliable Encyclopedia Moronica.

     It's not fair that people who can't defend their own nonsense get to create a fake "fair and balanced argument" the way they do when asserting that evolution and creationism are equally valid. I'm not saying that atheists are perfect thinkers. Everyone has blind spots. I'm sure there are atheists who think pony tails look good on a man... But when it comes to religion, we're not two sides of the same coin and you don't get to put your unreason up on the same shelf with my reason...

     I'm open to anything for which there's evidence. Show me a god and I will believe in him. If Jesus Christ comes down from the sky during the halftime show of this Sunday's Superbowl and turns all the nachos into loaves...I'll think two things: First, how dare he interrupt Madonna, she is gonna be PISSED, and Two: Oh, look at that, I was wrong. There he is! My bad, praise the lord!

     If you still insist atheism is still a religion, then it's only fair that we get to do all the loony stuff that you get to do. And I'm going to start, tonight, by unbaptising Mitt Romney's dead father-in-law. By the power granted to me by the Blair Witch... e pluribus mumbo jumbo... yo yo mama... I call upon the Mormon Spirits to leave your body the f*ck alone. Brother Edward, in this world, you had to put up with Mitt Romney, you've suffered enough.
