I think it'll be interesting to watch, but won't pose any new or different ideas. It'll probably be more funny than informative, much in the same way as when channel 4 (i think) did a documentary on the most hated family in america rather than when Richard Dawkins did his series of programs.

I just like watching the faces of theists change as he compares god to something completely ridiculous like santa.

If its a funny, well thought out piece of film-making then I'll be interested; if it's just there to blast religion then I'm afraid I don't see the point: it's just as bad as religious enthusiasts trying desperately to defend a useless tradition. Most educated people are smart enough to make their own minds up about religious belief.

How can you even start to compare Santa to God!!!!

I mean for a start Santa is real.

Talk about making sweeping generalizations. Naturally all religions, all the people that practice or have any faith must be severely disillusioned. Riiiiight. I dig that.

Haha, that looks good. Mainly just to watch the reactions he gets. Also, the line:
'Gay muslim activists - Thats one job description'
Kinda hooks it for me

Immense - looking forward to this

I'm expecting Louis Theroux levels of embarassment.....I usually have to look away if it gets too cringe-worthy.
