In a meeting of the minds, Bill Maher, host of HBO’s Real Time, stopped by Jon Stewart’s Daily Show to talk about drugs, atheism, politics, President Obama’s claims to spirituality, and the New York Mets.

Discussing their careers, Stewart asked Maher if there are things that he has advocated for in the past that he feels he may have had some effect influencing public perceptions.

“Absolutely,” Maher replied, “People used to ask me would you run for office and that is such a silly question, I could never. And if I did, my slogan would be ‘Drugs are good and religion is bad.’ ”

Maher admitted that he feels that the “needle has moved” on both of those topics.

He proves again what a jerk and buffoon he is. As if the president is too cool and smart to be a believer.

1. I've never once believed Obama was religious. Same with Clinton and both Bush's.

And nowhere does he state that Obama is "too cool and smart to be a believer"

2. That is his attitude. That has always been his attitude.

3. Hey welcome to the interfaith room.

5. Thanks! I never pay attention to what room I'm in anymore

I hope I wasn't a rude guest

[hrmjustin]

6. Never my friend! I always like to hear your opinion.

4. Why don't you believe them to be religious? nt

7. Just an assumption on my part, feeling like they are saying what they "have to say"

Kind of like when politicians go hunting during their campaigns, or eat corn dogs, etc.

A faith-based belief in their lack of religious faith

[el_bryanto]

8. I can of course understand the argument that all politicians are phony

So long as it's not also an argument that "No sensible person would really be religious."

9. That's definitely not my argument. Indeed, Carter is my favorite prez, and I don't doubt his faith

10. He's also a sexist creep

He's called Tailhook, "boys being boys," and claimed that maybe women just aren't that good at science and math. I will not watch him.

11. He is not as great as people make him out to be.
