ATHEISM

Zeitgeist: The Movie is an extended diatribe against Christianity, and to a much smaller extent against theism in general. It labels Christianity as "the fraud of the age," calls Jesus Christ a "Solar Deity" and "mythical figure" and labels the Bible as "an astro-theological literary fold hybrid, just like nearly all religious myths before it." While it claims to be factual and correct, it explicitly tells readers NOT to try to verify the "facts" in the movie-- for good reason-- because it's chuck full of error and fiction portrayed as fact, as our evaluation of it shows in detail.

Atheist Richard Dawkins claims to prove through rational evidence that complex life came to exist on earth strictly by natural processes and natural selection, without any intelligent design. But when he tries to explain how the universe came to be such a perfect setting for life, and how life first came into being, he admits no naturalistic evidence exists- it was "sheer luck." Without the perfect universe and information-packed cell, his claims for natural selection are completely impossible. Atheistic Dawkins Makes a Case for Intelligent Design reviews portions of Dawkins' book The God Delusionand his descent into wishful thinking in imagining life's origin by accident.

One idea that has gained popularity is that personal spirituality is good, but organized religion is bad, because it is corrupt and oppressive. What good is organized religion? What happens when it goes awry? The answers will surprise you.
