The Root of All Evil?/The God Delusion, written by Richard Dawkins, is a documentary in which he tries to argue that the world does not need religion to function, and that it would actually be better off without it. He supports this by examining the miracles that took place at the Lourdes, a discussion with a Jew-turned-Muslim in Jerusalem (whose views are definitely something I disagree with), and so on. He concludes by saying that we should strive to be atheist, rather than religious because it provides so many more benefits than religion does.
Personally, I felt that this documentary was a bit overbearing and biased at times so it hard to keep watching. While I understand that Richard Dawkins is very confident in his beliefs, I felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable around the some of the statements he was making, and the way he would phrase things and act around others, such as the way he acted around the pastor from Colorado Springs. It felt like he was purposely goading them on, and I felt like there was a lack of religious tolerance. It also felt like he was nitpicking the people who would have views strongly agreeing or contrasting with him. He did find some good evidence to support his claims such as some passages from the Old Testament, but the rest felt inconclusive. While I do not outright hate this documentary, I think it could have been much better done.
