CULVER CITY, Calif., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Best of Penn Says: Religion" DVD, a compilation of episodes from "Penn Says," the original web series from Crackle.com, Sony Pictures Entertainment's online video network, is the ultimate collection of Penn Jillette's most controversial, completely uncensored assessments. The DVD, now available for purchase on Amazon.com, also includes three never-before-seen episodes.

The self-described "larger, louder half" of veteran magic-and-comedy team Penn and Teller has pioneered the Art of the Rant in the age of blogging and vlogging. Penn is considered and describes himself as verbose on and offstage and is obsessed with the truth and how people distort it. Recently, Penn Jillette has been an outspoken voice among the political community; voicing his belief in a smaller government and peace. Whether it be his discussion of "Glenn Beck's Tea Party at the Alamo" or his belief that Madonna is entitled to adopting Mercy from Malawi, Penn Jillette always speaks his mind and won't hold back, especially on one of his favorite subjects...religion.

"Best of Penn Says: Religion" is available on Amazon.com via CreateSpace DVD on-Demand.

SYNOPSIS

In this up close and personal web series, Penn the Magician, Inventor, Philosopher, Social Critic and Celebrity Atheist discusses, teaches, and tears apart common misconceptions and bares his brain for all to see. What's the difference between Agnosticism and Atheism? How much of a role should religion play in the major political races? Is proselytizing an act of kindness or just an obtrusive annoyance? When Penn Jillette has an opinion, it's a safe bet he won't hold back. Each episode is a new insight or agitation.
