- Movie Goof (factual errors): In the scene at the Holy Land amusement park, Bill Maher talks about how the story of Jesus Christ mirrors that of many other Mediterranean deities, focusing specifically on Horus, son of Osiris. In reality, the story of Horus is nothing like what Maher tells. Horus was born of Osiris and Isis, both Gods, from the resurrected body of Osiris, later killed by Set. Horus was not crucified, but became the Pharaoh of both Lower and Upper Egypt. None of the deities mentioned were born on December 25th, that date being the date of a Pagan holiday associated with Christianity centuries after Christ.
- Movie Goof (errors in geography): The truck stop chapel is not actually located in Raleigh, NC, as claimed in the film, but is near Charlotte, NC. Raleigh and Charlotte are further from each other than LA and San Diego. Charlotte is an extremely conservative town compared with Raleigh.
- During the sequence set inside the Dome of the Rock, Bill Maher and his guide are approached by two men who speak in Arabic and are supposedly objecting to Maher's presence. In reality, what they are saying is "We don't normally hang out here..." and "The boss only gives us five minutes..."
- The film used the fake working title "A Spiritual Journey" in order to obtain interviews with religious leaders. They did not know that Bill Maher was involved in the film until he arrived for the interviews.
