this is pretty awesome. Thanks.

psst . . .atheism

The Atheism Tapes are a 6 episode series which extend the interviews of this documentary. Maybe they are still available in Google video.
Here is the second part:

It's actually a three part documentary: The History of Disbelief. I highly recommend the third and final show (can't find it online)...It's very emotional (and has Dawkins on).

*religion? I think it's fair to say that the lack of religion can only really be defined in the context of religion.

Re: benjee's original description: The first in a three part documentary by Jonathan Miller, charting the history of disbelief in religion - commonly known as atheism.

Atheism is a disbelief in god, not religion or faith. There's plenty of evidence that religion exists and atheists exercise faith all the time, just not faith in god.

^ the main difference being that atheists maintain a consistent malleability of thought, readily accepting and often activing pursuing the prospect that their ideas of the world around them could be incorrect - maintaining a healthy skepticism and basing their perspectives on available proof. Technically saying that they excercise faith all the time is true - in that there are theories we follow but can't necessarily prove entirely. But such a statement can be a bit misleading, so I'm gonna play the role of nerdy douchebag and elucidate the meaning.
