Michael Heller and Richard Dawkins, amongst others, debating the collision between science and religion:

Here's a documentary from 2005 (screened just after Jerry Springer: The Opera was aired by the BBC) about the idiotic religious hatred law and freedom of speech under religious censorship. As well as JS:TO it examines the cases of 'Bezhti' and 'Submission' and has footage of Evan Harris and Rowan Atkinson making statements in the Cambridge Union.

Thanks for the video. Here's a similar film, again from the BBC, again about the teaching of Evolution in schools, but this time made in the mid-90s about a case in Tennessee. Briefly featuring Richard Dawkins and Eugenie Scott.
