Root of All Evil? plot
Atheist and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins visits England, America and Israel to interview prominent believers; Muslims, Hasidic Jews and new Christian sects emerging worldwide. He expresses his position on the extent to which fanaticism has destroyed, and will continue to undermine, our civilization. In the first part, "The God Delusion," Dawkins explores the unsubstantiated beliefs that various religions hold as if they were facts. He also discusses the most extreme excesses of those convictions. In the second part "The Virus of Faith" Dawkins argues that the foundations on which religions claim their values are crooked pillars.
