The Story of God
'The Story of God' is an epic journey across continents, cultures and eras exploring religious beliefs from their earliest incarnations, through the development of today's major world faiths and the status of religious faith in a scientific age, featuring physician, Professor and British Lord Robert Winston.

He analyses the history of various gods by travelling the world talking with people ranging from hindus, muslims and christians to buddhists and athiests. Richard Dawkins makes an appearance later in the series.

'The Story of God' first aired on BBC One, December 2005. Like many BBC documentaries, 'The Story of God' aired in 2007 in other countries, including the USA.
