One thing that neither the fanatically religious nor the fanatically anti-religious will ever understand is that all people, regardless of their perspective/faith, have been, and will always remain, naturally drawn to violence, conflict and murder, and ideology determines nothing except which side of the killing field you happen to be on. This is really just preachy and overstated moralistic bullshit.

Dawkins, in highly reactionary fashion, suggests religion is inherently evil, using highly negative terms like "virus of faith" or "god delusion", just that choice of words shows his biases. Dawkins bases his judgments off of fringe groups, whose actions are often POLITICAL in nature, and are based off of perversions of religious texts. Dawkins would have a much stronger case if only he toned down his irrational fervent hatred, and he's definitely capable of doing so.

I'll just leave this here, it's a quote by Epicurus: "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

Failed to show true ridiculousness of religion, but I give him credit for trying and for providing some strong arguments

Makes some excellent points but unfortunately most in the wrong way, as Dawkins' fanatical approach grinds the viewers almost as much as those he's trying to attack. Even card-carrying atheists will be taken aback by Dawkins' fevered antitheist rantings which - as is often the case with Michael Moore documentaries - become embarrassingly biased, leaving you frustrated that such a painfully obvious argument can be delivered in such a sledgehammer fashion. Could have been so much better.

Spot-on documentary. Unfortunately, no one, not even Dawkins, can be as sarcastic as needed, when discussing the ridiculousness of religion.

It should have gone on further, deeper into the material.

Why does this docu only deal with institutionalized religion called church and doesn't even scratch the surface of faith? Faith is personal, church is not. Faith is daily challenged by questions, church is usually not. Church often discourages independent thought, personal faith is independent in it's nature. Is there a concept of a creator in your mind? If yes, is it there to comfort you or it is just a complicated conclusion of you experiencing your own existence and everything surrounding it?
