The God Who Wasn't There is another in a string of anti religion documentaries. Unlike the more informative Zeitgeist or the more entertaining REligulous, this one comes from a more personal perspective.
The movie tries to examine if Jesus existed, looking at historical documents, and of scripture that was known to be written as close as to the lifetime of Christ as possible. The historical stuff is the most interesting as much of the other information has been covered in greater depth in other documentaries.
Where it takes a unique turn is the revelation that the director, Brian Flemming , was taught in a Religous School and was a born again Christian. Having explored the facts and expressed the fear that was imposed on him as a child, he proceeds to question the Headmaster of the School.
It's not the belief that Flkemming questions but the inflexible arrogence it's imposed on others. Mint. Check out Bill Maher's Religulous first though.
