A road movie that isn't about a rock band tour

Saw this clip on the Globe's website. It's a promo for a new documentary that follows a speaking tour by Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins both, as I think we know well around here, scientists who are outspoken advocates for atheism.

And here's the film's website: http://unbelieversmovie.com/

 

Might be interesting to see though I often find the new atheists are almost as overbearing as the religious proselytisers that they criticize.

 

However, Krauss is wonderful when he sticks to talking about cosmology and about how science can provide a sense of wonder and connection every bit as much as traditional religion. Listened to this interview with him recently and quite liked much of it even if he did play the overbearing new atheist card at times.
