I found it very worthwhile. First of all, the movie is mainly directed at atheists and agnostics. There very point of the movie is that religious people can't be reasoned with and reject logic which is demonstrated over and over again. It is more of a call to agnostics and atheists to speak up and to stop coddling the religious agenda. Bill Maher walks into various religious strongholds (be they the Vatican, a museum for creationism or a truckstop church) and asks questions which are logical but that religious people cannot answer. From a book I love, people question everything except what they believe in. I learned just a bit about some facts, scripture matters and previous deities whose background stories are a bit too familiar.
Will religious people like this movie? Absolutely not. Will agnostics and atheists like this movie? Probably yes and may feel energized and upset that (for Americans, at least) our politics are completely injected with superstitious nonsense.
