I’ve seen it and I’ve seen the debunked videos of it too.
The political thing might be true, but the attack on Christianity is an Atheist agenda.

I liked the first zeitgiest, but the addendum not so much.

It is ridiculous. I posted several well-researched comments politely debunking parts of one clip (the one dealing with religion), and they were quickly deleted and I was banned from commenting further. This is, of course, rather ironic given that the makers pretend to be ‘getting the truth out’. The content that I saw was either based on research that consisted of skimming the less savory parts of the internet, or was simply made up. I have no reason to expect the rest to be any more truthful. Oh, and seVen…I am as atheistic a fellow as you can find, but I too am capable of recognizing bullshit when I see it. There is no dark force of atheism bent on fulfilling some ‘agenda’. Neither I nor anybody I know is trying to bring down civilization as you know it or bring the devil to your doorstep- so stop trying to demonize us.

haven’t seen all of it, but I’ve seen some and I think that it’s great.

I don’t necessarily believe 100%, but at least it makes you think. And there’s probably more truth to Zeitgeist than to some more “official” stories.

The biggest problem with it is that it’s all one big thing, trying to tackle many issues simultaneously. They could have made many separate documentaries with it.
