The Root of All Evil? is a documentary by Richard Dawkins examining the usefulness of organised religion and the belief in god. It was first broadcast Jan 2006 on Channel 4 in the UK and was aired as two 45min episodes.
Below are videos of the two episodes in their entirety.

I particular found the section on Secular Morality in PART 2 of this documentary to be very insightful. Dawkins interviews evolutionary psychologist Oliver Curry about primordial morality found in chimpanzees. The theory proposed is that morality is the result of evolutionary biology due to reciprocal altruism and kin selection. Dawkins also interviews novelist Ian McEwan (Atonement, Amsterdam, Enduring Love) about the atheist theory that morality is based on empathy and a sense of responsibility.
If you have a spare 90mins and want to watch an excellent thought-provoking documentary then I highly suggest you view The Root Of All Evil? here for free!

i think it used to be money?
i wonder what the Mother of all evil would have to say about this?
hi alt_ed,
the Michael Bray interview in Biblical Morality (2.3) is a friend of a guy who killed an abortionist . . . i guess S.L. Bradish was not available for comment . . .

i wonder if brainlessness leads to mistaking incoherant rants for satire?
humour is dead!
