I sometimes find Maher entertaining but John Oliver has a better show in that it is a synthesis, weaponized to make a point. Oliver's researchers could probably get a job for Frontline just as well. Maher is more like a show for venting and schadenfreude -- it is different from a sermon. You're not looking for inspiration or guidance on Maher. A person prone to religion would have that weakness.
