'The Atheism Tapes' is a series of one-on-one dialogs between Jonathan Miller and six acknowledged thinkers on the topic of belief and atheism. It follows 'Jonathan Miller's Brief History of Disbelief' which met with such critical acclaim and popularity that the BBC broke what was essentially an unspoken rule: Miller was allowed to create a second series from discussions cut from the first and air it within the same season. Each segment is dedicated to one discussion and is edited to a 30 minute duration.

Jonathan Miller talks to the philosopher Colin McGinn about atheism and anti-Theism.

2) Steven Weinberg
The Nobel Prize-winning physicist discusses the role of science in the erosion of religious belief.

3) Arthur Miller

4) Richard Dawkins

5) Denys Turner

6) Daniel Dennett
