This series is about the disappearance of something - religious faith. Its the story of what is often referred to as athiesm - the history of the growing convinction that God does not exist….
Thus begins the 3 part BBC series - the Brief History of Disbelief. Worth watching.
Its’ primarily the story of disbelief in a western anglo saxon context - and Johathan Miller is a fantastic guide. With his trademark dry wit, intellegence and condensation - hear him dismiss animation and receations as ‘vulgur’ - he leads us through the history of Western Disbelief - from the ancient Greeks to Thomas Paine, from the role of the Church to the role of leading thinkers.
A Brief History of Disbelief - a well crafted series. A much more detailed review after a second viewing.
