"Julian Samuel's most recent documentary, Atheism, poses a vigorous and provocative challenge to what are primarily (but not exclusively), Semitic brands of theism both cherished and challenged in the western, intellectual world. With 71 minutes of film on hand, Samuel endeavors to discover what might reasonably be said of this elusive and, perhaps, too transcendent theme. Theism, Samuel suggests, sardonically permeates our human, all too human history, lending itself precariously to the wayward advances of political authority, underwriting a host of societies around the globe. Using a broad range of interview subjects - portraying graphic illustrations of our most candid thoughts - and each with their own discriminating sense of interpretation, Samuel speaks with physicists, philosophers, bishops, political scientists, and Middle Eastern scholars, all in an effort to delineate a sensible understanding of a most insensible topic. Samuel's Atheism should come as highly recommended viewing for both the irreligious, and still, religious thinker of the 21st century".
