      What are your religious beliefs and are you comfortable sharing them?

      In this three-part series Jonathan Miller ventures into a territory less travelled. He embarks on a journey to discover the dawning of his own disbelief and exposes the secret story of atheism.

      A Brief History of Disbelief is separated into three 60 minute increments. Part 1 begins where the Twin Towers once stood with Jonathan examining the religious implications surrounding the tragedy of 9/11. He meets with philosopher Colin McGinn and Arthur Miller and searches for proof of the first ‘unbelievers’.

      Part 2 features Jonathan pondering how atheism re-emerged in the 15th and 16th centuries after the the domination of Christianity from 500 AD. His discoveries were surprising. Jonathan also visits the 18th century atheist Baron D’Holbach’s home while in Paris.

      The third and final part examines the idea of Thomas Paine, a self-taught philosopher. Jonathan reviews the groundbreaking studies of geology and theories of Darwin. He picks apart the Freudian view that religion is a “thought disorder.”

      A Brief History of Disbelief is interesting to watch, regardless of your religious beliefs. As an atheist myself, I found his view points compelling. This documentary definitely fuels those religion debates many of us often try to avoid.

      A very insightful documentary, thanks for linking it.

    • koele

      It's a good first step. But we must move from separation to integration. Dualistic belief is being for something and against something else… ex: Theist or Atheist. But this leads to suffering until you see that All is One and that there is ultimately no need for either stance. Nature doesn't recognize justice/injustice. Trees don't know fair and unfair. We are perfect as we are… it is only our mental positions that keep us at war and not in harmony. Come together. Instead of religion and anti-religion… get rid of both and just BE HERE NOW.

    • koele

      Actually, there is no need to get rid of anything. Just move beyond both stances into pure being.

    • koele

      The able/willing and good/evil arguments are examples of dualistic thinking. Positions in many of the arguments presented here as a means to debate God are pointless. Good and evil are expressed only through the mind of men and have nothing to do with God. We are BEING the problem in this sense. The supernatural and natural both do not understand good/evil as we define it, they know only survival and expansion.

    • koele

      I hear you. My god IS science. My god is energy/matter, creation, and evolution. I want to see science integrated into all stances: religious or non-religious. All I'm saying is that opposing something will only make it stronger. Just look at this video as an example – religious opposition has arguably strengthened atheism over time. Atheistic opposition will never quell the flame of religion. There is a better way.

      yes I know my name !
      but I like to thank you for this documentation
      of religion…

      I do agree that religion is just a tool of control of other people mined. and just to take there freedom ,but it is so easy to let other make decision for you ….
      people stop questioning because I think they are to lazy.

      when such speculative dogmas places humanity at the centre of the univers,
      with no rational and without the neccesity of justifying one,innevitable disaster follows .
      In geological terms, human civilazation
      has been around for a flash and already on the brink of extinction.
      science is not something out there,independent and optional!science is what we are,
      as well as everything else. knoledge,wisdom and living in tune with mother nature,
      would make us the humans that we claim to be. have a great day today

    • teella

      I find it quite ironic that this guy, and so many more non-belivers, insist so vigorously on their disbelief! Why is it so important for these people to make their disbelief in something they find not worth their while known?
      Maybe it secretly is a very absorbing thought for them, but, unable to ‘reason’ their way to belief, they subdue true feelings and go with the flow…

    • teella

      Ha! You don’t think most atheists are just too lazy to belive?! Come on…

    • ranaverde

      Teella, me too, think its ironic, i just read The wall (Jean Paul Sartre), there is a short story named “the childhood of a leader” there is this boy who is searching for identity and meaning, he ends up as a fascist, hating jews and is this what makes him feel part of something. maybe is something similar.

    • Robbyou

      People insist on their disbelief, because we are beaten about the head by it on a daily basis. Daily expressions of discontent or surprise or anger, have denograted to braiking the commandment of taking the “lord’s name” in vain. People bring up god and thank god, and oh my god, and god damn, holy crap, and jesus christ… ever notice that when you are ready to curse some one you god damn them, but yet, I am the one going to hell?
      AND because you can never have a discussion with a person who has truly drank the religious kool-aid. You can tell them your side of the discussion, but all they are doing is waiting to utter the last explanation that they were given from someone who had more knowledge of their little bible than they did. they have found only what more important religious leaders have told them. You will not change their minds, even when reason and logic and facts back up the correct side of the discussion. You will not change a religious person’s mind. Look at the dribble Kirk Cameron spews out now.

    • AKing

      Teella and ranaverde, I see where you’re going, but I don’t think it’s ironic in the least. Non-belief in certain propositions still requires a reason, or better, a systematic logical approach. It is not surprising that the folks here have rigorously supported their positions given its contentiousness and the ubiquity of religious belief in the world. I doubt that they regard the subject of religious belief is “not worth their while.” Quite the contrary, I would think.
