Richard Dawkins’ follow up series to the Root of Evil, tackles superstition in general, instead of organized religion. The series is currently being aired on TV in the UK, here is the first part.
Unfortunately one of the more dramatic scenes from the film, where a psychic is shown to be an out and out fraud, had to be cut for legal reasons. This film is more cheery than ‘the Root of Evil, and you almost feel sorry for some of those interviewed. But Dawkins does well to avoid the temptation of trying to justify science in terms of fashionable new age crap, to win friends. The result is ultimately less patronizing to those who are clearly deluded.
Thanks James.

Many people see Newton’s religiosity as an endorsement of the divine by a powerful intellect. Another view: he though so hard that he cracked and became a delusional fairly chasing nut-case.

This video looks like a send up, but is apparently not. A deluded suburban realtor describes his imagined visit to hell. He is introduced by a woman who looks like a QVC presenter, who passes on the perfect gag – why god would really choose a realtor to show hell to. Its like having the holocaust introduced to you by a clown.

A documentary about Creationfest, a four-day Christian rock show-cum-revival held every summer in Eastern Washington. Utterly surreal, this couldn’t be more different from Dawkins’ interview with the Bishop of Oxford
“Jesus would have been funnier than any comedian you can think of. Jesus was way cool” etc.
