* {{Woolseyism}}: How does one translate the title, a portmanteau derived from the words "religion" and "ridiculous", to other languages? Well, in Poland they decided to go with ''Wiara czyni czuba'' (''Faith makes [you] a freak''), a pun on popular Polish saying ''wiara czyni cuda'' (''Faith makes miracles happen'').

* DumbassHasAPoint: The Christian explaining to Bill Maher the idea of a triune God as being comparable to liquid, ice and water vapor makes a lot more sense than most explanations of the Trinity, but that's assuming the entire premise of a triune God exists at all.
