This Sunday night will see Compass, the Australian National Broadcaster’s Religious comment program air:
The Atheists
Synopsis: As best-selling books rail against religion, Compass talks to atheists of different stripes. What do they believe and are they all the same? Eminent philosopher John Gray; science writer and editor of Skeptic magazine Michael Shermer; historian and writer Inga Clendinnen and Australia’s best known atheist Phillip Adams, all explore the philosophical and practical consequences of being an atheist.[read more]
Sounds like it will be an entertaining night. I am quite eager to hear Phillip Adams talk as I am a long time fan of his radio show. The ABC is usually left in a political sense and fairly even handed so I am expecting a good documentary. Note, not a mention of the words “Neo-atheism” or “The New Atheists”.
