一部讲述无神论在历史上各个时期的影响的纪录片。

无神论是一种认为神或灵魂是不存在的哲学思想。今天人们说无神论一般是指完全否定任何超自然,包括一个与肉身无关的灵魂的存在。无神论者认为,既然人类在几千年的历史中、自己在十几乃至几十年的生活经历中,都未找到令人难以否定的神存在的证据,我们不妨在生活中假定没有神。随着时间的推移,这种假定又进一步被经验所肯定,无神论的观念因而进一步得到稳固。有神论者常常试图改变无神论者的观点,但他们总是拿不出令人信服的证据。多数无神论者及有神论者是通过家庭和社会被动地获得他们关于神的观念,但他们从未站在理性的高度、通过深入的哲学思辩,独立地做出有神还是无神的判断。

在这个具突破性的系列中,神经学家邀请剧作家以及无神论者-乔纳森-米勒与6个人进行会话,他们来自文学和科学领域,分别是:纽约时代杂志畅销书作家-理查德- 达克文斯、哲学家-丹尼尔-丹内特和科林-麦金、剧作家-亚瑟-米勒、神学家-德尼-特纳、物理学家-史蒂文-温伯格。

乔纳森-米勒将与他们讨论个人思维智商,以及在宏观方面为他们分析点明关于有神论和无神论概念.

English philosopher McGinn speaks about the various reasons for not believing in God, and some of the reasons for. He gives a thorough treatment of the ontological argument. In addition, McGinn draws an important distinction between atheism (lack of belief in a deity) and antitheism (active opposition to theism); he identifies himself as both an atheist and an antitheist. Finally, he speculates about a post-theistic society.

He talks about the effectiveness of the Design Argument, both in the past and today. He also discusses the reasons that people become religious, including the varying influences of physical and biological arguments against religion. Miller connects this to a higher likelihood of biologists being non-believers than physicists, which Weinberg finds surprising.

American philosopher Dennett explains why he called one of his books Darwin’s Dangerous Idea, and why many of Darwin’s contemporaries, in particular, considered Darwin’s theory of evolution to be dangerous. He goes on to deal with the question of consciousness (i.e., is the consciousness/soul distinct from the body), talking about Darwin’s rejection of the soul and the possible origins and psychological purposes of a belief in an immaterial soul.

Next, he talks about his Christian upbringing and how he became an atheist. He goes on to ask why it is thought rude to criticise religious belief, and suggests that it is due to the influential status of the religions in question. He finishes by wondering whether we could live effectively in a post-theistic world.

As a tribute to the recently deceased playwright Arthur Miller, another chance to see the discussion between Jonathan Miller and Arthur Miller about disbelief and their experiences of anti-Semitism, recorded in 2004.

Biologist Richard Dawkins talks to Jonathan Miller about his implacable opposition to all religion.

Christian theologian Denys Turner defends the case for God as the answer to the most important questions.
