COMPASS: ROOT OF ALL EVIL? Part One The God Delusion
Sunday 20 May at 21:30

In this strongly authored two-part series, Professor Richard Dawkins accuses the three main religions – Christianity, Islam and Judaism – of beliefs that defy science, and of stunting the mind’s capacity for understanding. He embarks on a personal, controversial and, at times, humorous journey to prove that religion is the root of all evil.
In the first episode Professor Dawkins challenges what he describes as 'a process of non-thinking called faith'. He ranges from the political influence of rich and powerful Christian fundamentalist institutions in America to the deadly clash of Judaism, Christianity and Islam in the Middle East. He describes the Holy Land as the least enlightened place in the world, a microcosm of the threat to rational values and civilisation posed by religion, whose irrational roots, he says, are nourishing intolerance and murder.
On his journey he takes a humorous look at the more bizarre expressions of religious fervour, such as the vision of the Virgin Mary in a grilled-cheese sandwich.
