Watch Part Two of “A Brief History of Disbelief”
Series Website – Wiki – Google Video
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.

Noughts and Crosses, 1h 3s (originally 500MB)
Second part of the three part documentary directed by Richard Denton and hosted by Jonathan Miller which goes back through history, bringing us the origins of disbelief in Western civilization.
I’ve decided to upload part 3 as well. The copy which is provided through Google Video now has terrible video and audio quality. I could barely sit through 2 minutes of it.
