DESCRIPTION:ROOT OF ALL EVIL \nRichard Dawkins, Secular Humanist \n\nIn this 
 documentary, Richard Dawkins examines how religious faith is gaining ground 
 in the face of rational, scientific truth. This film takes you to some of 
 the world's religious hot-spots, both in America and the Middle East. 
 Dawkins meets with religious leaders and their followers, as well as 
 scientists and skeptics to examine the power of religion. He explores the 
 state of the three Abrahamic religions in the world today, 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 civilization posed by religion, whose irrational roots, he says, 
 are nourishing intolerance and murder. However, in spite their 
 irrationality, religions offer a sense of one's place in the world. This is 
 important to everyone but has particular significance for minorities and 
 peoples under political, economic, or military pressure. Some people may 
 even accept Dawkins' atheistic and scientific deconstruction of the 
 religious myths they have grown up with but still defend and nurture the 
 matrix of institutions, practices, and relationships which make them who 
 they are. \n\nWheelchair accessible at 411 28th Street \n\nBefore and after 
 the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our vegetarian Humanist Tea 
 House \n\n$5 donations are accepted \n\n
