    Poorly done, although the idea was there, it was just... sloppy. (Saw this some time last year.)

    A highly informative 2-part documentary which highlights the DEFINITE flaws in our world's religions. Richard Dawkins scientifically disproves many religious myths (purported by the church as facts) - with an emphasis on Creationism vs Evolutionism (1st half). The 2nd half is i... read morencredibly powerful, since Dawkins cleanly outlines the role of religion as a motivation for 'religiously-validated' rape, female oppression, genocidal war, and territorial theft between races (backed up by scriptural evidence).
    By debating with evangelists and other dogmatic religious bigots, he thoroughly proves that religion is counterproductive to our world economy and social structure.

    Whether you're religious or not, I recommend this film. It will inject rational thought, where irrationality has always resided.

    Richards Dawkins makes the best points ever about religion.
    A definite must-see for all of non-believers and especially believers.
    You gotta open your eyes and stop living in the La La Land, people.

    Great piece of work that covers the main weaknesses and faults of religion. A lot of the material in this documentary is covered in Dawkins' book "The God Delusion", only in much more detail. For someone who needs a starting point though, this documentary serves that purpose wond... read moreerfully.

    I was genuinely surprised by this. Dawkins chooses a good variety of people to represent Judaism, radical Islam, and several sects of Christianity. The interviews are sort of off the cuff but they are honest and feature no split scenes from what i can tell which offer accurate in... read moreterviews.

    For being an Oxford professor this sure has no academic value whatsoever. Opinions are all that are spoken here, no evidence presented for any side presented.

    Richard Dawkins takes advantage of many mediums to spread awareness that there is an alternative to religious fundamentalism, or indeed, any type of religious beliefs.

Those viewers who are trying to keep an open mind about the existence or nonexistence of the divine may find Dawkins' certainty as off-putting as that of the religious activists he meets. Full Review
