You have an excellent point, AOIIAngel. Every one, Christians and non-Christians alike, should ,IMHO ,know why they believe what they profess to believe. I just don't think this movie really plays a part in that.
Additionally, I believe that a certain respect is due another's beliefs, even if you think they are wacky or unrealistic. Bill Maher certainly flunks that test. Especially as Americans, who have a right to freedom of religion, we should not ridicule another's belief system. That doesn't mean we can't honestly inquire or try to reason out the logic of a particular faith - but it does mean that even if you don't agree you don't point and laugh. Laughing at yourself is good - I love a good Anglican-Catholic joke - but I think Maher's film sounds mean-spiritied and vitriolic.
