Atheism: Jonathan Miller - A Brief History of Disbelief - Noughts and Crosses
Atheism: Jonathan Miller - A Brief History of Disbelief - Noughts and Crosses - 1:00:03
With the domination of Christianity from 500 AD, Jonathan Miller wonders how disbelief began to re-emerge in the 15th and 16th centuries. He discovers that division within the Church played a more powerful role than the scientific discoveries of the period. He also visits Paris, the home of the 18th century atheist, Baron D'Holbach, and shows how politically dangerous it was to undermine the religious faith of the masses.

There is in every village a torch: the scoolteacher and an extinguisher: the priest." The quote by Victor Hugo.
Some works of Aristotle and Plato supported the new Christian theology in the middle ages, however materialist philosophers such as Epicurus, Democritus and Lucretius were dismissed.
This is the story of re-emerging of atheism under the dogma and Christianity.

Atheism: Jonathan Miller's Brief History of Disbelief - Shadows of Doubt
Part I - Shadows of Doubt - 59:03
Jonathan Miller visits the absent Twin Towers to consider the religious implications of 9/11 and meets Arthur Miller and the philosopher Colin McGinn. He searches for evidence of the first 'unbelievers' in Ancient Greece and examines some of the modern theories around why people have always tended to believe in mythology and magic. --- Uploaded because this needs to be available as a shining light of the historicity of reason midst the depths and oceans of media absurdity and religious propaganda. So few representatives of atheism provide a compelling and earnest account for unbelief, let alone with the lucidity and intellectual vigor of Jonathan Miller. He is sincere and moving in this attempt to explain and understand the origins of the truth of disbelief of religious superstition and faith. --- Should the BBC or the producers find it inappropriate for me to have uploaded this video, I will gladly remove it upon their request.
