A brief history of disbelief part 2

Here is the second part of the series, part 1 is located here

 

Please note:  Each of these videos are about 1 hour in length.  For shorter episodes you should be able to find them on youtube.

With the domination of Christianity from 500 AD, Jonathan Miller wonders how disbelief began to re-emerge in the 15th and 16th centuries. He discovers that division within the Church played a more powerful role than the scientific discoveries of the period. He also visits Paris, the home of the 18th century atheist, Baron D’Holbach, and shows how politically dangerous it was to undermine the religious faith of the masses.

    OZ,

    Doo you think I should but a note in the post about the length of the film?

  4. Oz Atheist says:

    Sean, a note about the length of a video, particularly if it’s longer than about 15 minutes, would be appreciated.

    I ended up purchasing The Atheist Tapes instead
