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 [tag]Johathan Miller[/tag] 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.

[tag] A Brief History of Disbelief [/tag] – a well crafted series. A much more detailed review after a second viewing.
