"Root of All Evil?" - is Religion acting as a
"mind virus" passing on the delusions to next generations? Are there
any rational explanations for origins of religion? Has man been created in
god's image or god has been created in man's image? What actions do irrational
beliefs supported by religion lead to? How about religious indoctrination of
innocent children and effecting generation after generation?
In this two-part documentary, Oxford Professor Richard
Dawkins examines how religious faith is gaining ground in the face of
rational, scientific truth. The program takes you to some of the world's
religious hot-spots, both in America and the Middle East. Dawkins meets with
religious leaders and their followers, as well as scientists and skeptics to
examine the power of religion. Interviews with former Pastor Ted Haggard, the
novelist Ian McEwan, the former Bishop of Oxford, and others offer valuable
insights into the global impact and consequences of faith in the 21st century. Our modern world is the product of a long march from
ignorance and fear to the Enlightenment and beyond, always guided by the power
of science and reason. To now abandon our endeavor toward progress and
knowledge for faith and superstition puts humanity in peril. If you click to play the documentary below will autoplay it part by part.
