In this two‑part Channel 4 series, Professor Richard Dawkins critiques what he calls a ‘process of non‑thinking called faith’. He argues that despite science’s reliance on scepticism and evidence, religious belief is resurging and contradicts rational inquiry. Dawkins says faith, being untested and unshakeable, often fuels intolerance and violence, hindering humanity’s historic move toward greater enlightenment and tolerance.
