This is a documentary directed by Larry Charles and starring Bill Maher, the name of the movie comes from the words "religion" and "ridiculous" which gives a clearer idea of what´s the documentary.
From the beginning Mather shows what´s his point of view about the religion, for example he says "I think that tje religion is harmful for the humanity progress..."and during all the movie he travel around different places questioning people about what´s their opinion about cristianism, catolicism, judaism, etcetera, whatever religion belong them.
In the course of his travel he meets a lot of so-called "God´s sent" and spiritual leaders that seems that only they are there for advantaging of the persons whom believe that has the answers for all the questions.
Maher makes the questions that left unanswered to the supposed enlightened believers, asking questions while extremely strong and direct against people's beliefs, demonstrating not only that their religion is based on pure lies if not that they themselves as supposed representatives of this know the correct information and they contardict
This message conveyed by the movie's great, because we are called to be free in our minds and take responsibility for our own actions instead of trying to deposit of the burden in a God who will most likely not even listening to us.
It also makes us to doubt, because the knowledge comes from the doubt and not to accept absolute truths that are not based on anything.

That's a good one, I liked it. It's always interesting some debate.
The message the movie gives you is something I learned a long time ago.
"...free our minds and take responsibility for our own actions instead of trying to deposit the burden in a God who will most liketly not even listen to us"
The problem is, I think this is not for everyone. There are a LOT of people who are happy just the way they are, with their beliefs and everything. But, as I say, if it works for you, then it's good for you.
