A fairly straightforward presentation of the "positive atheist" position...

...primarily through the lens of the long-running webcast, "The Atheist Experience," out of Austin, Texas, a somewhat delicious irony given the prevalence of fundamentalist Christianity in that state, this German documentary has obviously failed to make much of a dent in the American psyche, let alone the limited worldview of IMDbers. Color me not surprised.

The argumentation of Matt Dillahunty, the well-known atheist activist serves as the core focus of the film, although various other local Austin personalities feature as well, as well as intermittent snippets of Christian believers doing their thing in counterpoint.

Absolutely worth a watch for anyone interested in the subject, be they atheist or theist. The film is quite obviously weighted toward the atheist perspective, but that should come as no shock. Christians have never been able to adequately defend their beliefs via logic or the scientific method, and there is little reason to think they ever will, short of the miraculous return of Jesus Christ and the resultant humbling of millions of suddenly disproved non-Christians.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
