“Religulous” gets a new poster
Lionsgate earlier today released a brand new poster for TV comedian Bill Maher’s documentary “Religulous,” which is scheduled to open in limited release July 11, 2008.

The film is directed by Larry Charles, who also helmed 2007’s success hit comedy “Borat,” and follows Maher as he travels across the U.S. interviewing people about religion. Religious people may not appreciate Maher’s work here, because his flick is more a mockumentary than a serious examination of the state of world religion.
