Documentary – Atheism: Jonathan Miller’s Brief History of Disbelief – Shadows of Doubt

Found this great documentary playing free on Google video. A great insight into faith and the lack of it, in a slightly less confrontational style than the brilliant but marmite-like Richard Dawkins. :)

Anyway, here is part one, I’ll add the others at some point this week.

Part I – Shadows of Doubt Jonathan Miller visits the absent Twin Towers to consider the religious implications of 9/11 and meets Arthur Miller and the philosopher Colin McGinn. He searches for evidence of the first ‘unbelievers’ in Ancient Greece and examines some of the modern theories around why people have always tended to believe in mythology and magic. — Uploaded because this needs to be available as a shining light of the historicity of reason midst the depths and oceans of media absurdity and religious propaganda. So few representatives of atheism provide a compelling and earnest account for unbelief, let alone with the lucidity and intellectual vigor of Jonathan Miller. He is sincere and moving in this attempt to explain and understand the origins of the truth of disbelief of religious superstition and faith.
