There was "A brief history of disbelief" - which was a 3 part BBC series that was on PBS a few months back.

Dawkins did a documentary called "The Root of all Evil."  It focuses more on the harm done by religion but it is worth the watch.  Although much of it was filmed in the US it has never been shown here.  It can be purchased on Dawkins' website and the first episode can be viewed on youtube...

Thanks for the recommendations everyone.

Forgot to mention that I already considered adding "Jesus Camp" to the list.

I added it just to lighten the mood, besides my buddy has a really wicked sense of humor, which is probably why we get along so well

I saw a documentary about him back when Dogma first came out, and he said he was a Christian.  The context of the whole thing was that he was looking for a church to attend regularly, but that didn't believe that the Bible was the word of God.  The experience may have actually prompted him to write Dogma, but I can't remember.  I'll never forget him saying, "Jesus Christ!  Is there a fucking church in this country that doesn't believe the bible is the word of God?"

That was several years ago, though.  His views could have very well changed.  I imagine he was the kind of Christian at the time that most educated twentysomethings were and still are - the kind who are trying to justify the modern world in light of an ancient belief. 

Yes, Religulous is a great one/  However, now they also have an atheist mainstream film. The Invention Of Lying is extremely atheist.

Do some of these not verified people not get a view of the dates on threads? This is two years ago so I'm sure his buddy is well made his way to atheism by now.

Well, I am not sure if it matters all that much that old threads get bumped.  It allows us to link to new material that may not have been around back then.

Personally, I am a huge fan of the "Mr. Deity" show.

Watch "The God that Wasn't There".

It shows once and for all that Jesus was a MYTH that never actually walked on earth!!

No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Roman record that shows Pontius Pilate executing a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there occurs not a single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus came well after the life of the alleged Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings.

It's been a while since I stop by and check how the site is doing (great I hope ) and what I find that my question is still here.

Oh and regarding my friend... yeah, no dice, he's still a catholic, but more for social reasons than strong beliefs, and regardless we're still good friends.

Thanks everybody for the suggestions, and keep em coming.

I've since seen some other atheism-related flicks and other movies that point the more extreme and detrimental aspects of religion:

Agora

Moolaade

The stoning of Soraya M

Creation (that Charles Darwin movie)

8: the Mormon Proposition

A Jihad for Love

For the Bible tells me so

Marjoe

Constantine's Sword

The Sivas Massacre

Generation Jihad

Judgement Day: Intelligent design on trial (Nova documentary)

If you haven't seen them, check them out. Cheers.

EVERYONE here MUST see "The God That Wasn't There". It's a MUST!! It's required! IT'S MANDATORY!!

Also, I recommend Religilous.

Hello,

For movies on atheism, you can watch them every night practically. They are on:

ABC

CBS

NBC

PBS

You can also take a class at any University, and 9 times out of ten, it will be for Atheism.

The question is false and weak.

Respectfully,

Jean Chauvin (Jude 3).

Hello,

Christianity is not a Buffalo Club like on the Flintstones. Wasn't it the Buffalo Club? I don't remember. Anyway, Christianity is about those who God chooses before the foundation of the world (Eph 1:3-4).

If God wanted the whole planet to be a Christian, he would raise their dead corpse from the grave. God has chosen not to save your dead corpse or many others.

And your dead corpse develops dead thinking.

This has been predicted in Scripture. You're right (to a degree, other then your logical fallacies). And the fact that Atheism brings death to art, beauty, thinking, knowledge, science, biology, astronomy, mathematics, is also indirectly discusses as well.

Would you like to have a Bible study my dead friend?

And I notice that you did not take issue with my comment regarding NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, etc, etc, etc. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Berkeley, etc, etc, etc has all historically been taken over by liberal atheism. Yale was one of the first to go with Hoarce Bushnell, and thanks to Charles Hodge, Princeton was the last to go. It stuck in with it's sound thinking (or thinking at all) until 1929.

You atheists are evil hypocrites. But I'd still eat a hamburger with you and maybe even buy you a beer.

Respectfully,

Jean Chauvin (Jude 3).

Well now, lets talk about this.

Great composers who were also atheists
Hector Berlioz - pioneer of the french romantic opera reform
Edgard Varese - one of the first creators of electroacoustic music
Ludwig van Beethoven - The most influential composer to have ever lived
Bela Bartok - creator of ethnomusicology
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov - Part of les cinq, a group of Russian Nationalist composers
Dmitri Shostakovich (this one is a bit sketchy since he lived in the USSR who had state enforced atheism, but it's still good to include) - most popular composer of the 20th century
Richard Strauss - creator of the tone poem
Pierre Boulez - pioneers of post WWII serialism

I'll stick to this list since I am a composer and this is what I know. And yes, I am an atheist.

I may as well point out the dark ages since I'm here. 800 years of no advancement whatsoever because of the church.

  BLAH BLAH BLAH, BLAH BLAH BLAH

Ummm it was kinda meant in a joking manner.

No not a documentary. It was the end of the world or something and there was only one copy of the bible left. Of coure the bad guy had it so it was a bunch of fighting and killing in order for him to obtain this book. The reason was to take it to some guy who could rewrite more copies.

Yeah, you seem like a Fox News kind of guy. Or maybe you cast away TV altogether and stick to AM radio?

Since when University classes became movies? Or do you mean they spend their time watching movies? Cuz, y'know, this thread is about atheism-related movies, or is it that you couldn't resist taking a "respectful" jab at those big, elitist, godless libs who, just because they think they're too good to breathe from their mouths they can take over our youngster's edumacashun?

And what question are you referring to? The question if anyone knows about movies or documentaries?

But hell, since you stopped by, let's add more movies to the list, starting with that overdramatized flick you got your display image from: Luther (2003). Feel your heart melt watching the pious, ever merciful Luther caring for a faithful little girl bound to a makeshift crutch, while the movie never mentions his antisemitic ideas, his high regard for reason ("the damned whore" according to him) or his wonderful medical insights ("A large number of deaf, crippled and blind people are afflicted solely through the malice of the demon. And one must in no wise doubt that plagues, fevers and every sort of evil come from him."). At least we get to see some diligent Flagellants hard at what they did best.

Other movies worth a look:

-Amen (2002)

-Priest (1995)

-The Name of the Rose (1986)

-Wise Blood (1979)

-The Most Hated Family in America (2008) [Really hard to sit through]

-The Magdalene Sisters (2002)

-BBC Panorama: British Schools, Islamic Rules

-BBC: Vatican, The hidden world

And I think adding some lectures/debates can't hurt, so here's a few:

-Ken Miller on Intelligent Design

-Sam Harries - Believing the unbelievable

-Any of the Intelligence Squared Debates on the subject

Cheers.

I'm an atheist and read the bible from front to back a few times. It's complete nonsense. I've also never met worse hypocrites than religious folk. Such as yourself..are you not supposed to judge as I recall? Hey your imaginary friend's rules, not mine :D 

Both Gervais and Bill Maher have tonnes of comedic religious material. Gervais I find more funny, but Maher hits harder. They're both great.
