Just to break up the relentless onslaught of dominionist Christian investigation I present to you a program by Jonathan Miller. It is part of a series on the history of those of us who see no reason to believe.
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.

You should have a look or listen to The Atheism Tapes as well.
Are they out yet? I looked on Amazon and they come out later in the year in the states.
I hadn’t seen that documentary before. Thanks for the links.
Is that documentary available on DVD?
I started watching the video then realised it goes for an hour! I have sort-of broadband now, but not real fast or with big download limit.
Half Rabbit,
No problems.
OZ,
If you look on youtube you can find the series broken up. Haven’t found dvd copies yet.
you can also get them both at dvd quality in *cough* other places.
sean- I’ll copy you the lot- just tell me where to send
The programe is THE best thing ever – I adore Jonathan Miller and it is because of him and his rational, measured thought and speech that I finally got rationalism and logic and came out as an atheist
PD,
