It's called "The Enemies of Reason" and instead of focusing on religion, this one focuses on astrology and other superstitions.
The opening scene is so freakin funny. It shows some people chanting, and the camera slides over to show Dawkins sitting there looking like he wants to hang himself. ROFL
Here's all 5 parts:

Sorry, the first one was Ken Miller.
This is Dawkins:

My favorite line, in regards to poor standards in science education of youth: "this is a betrayal of the enlightenment... the fundamental problem... lies with the fashion throughout our educational system to teach students to value private feeling more highly than evidence-based reason."
On the one hand, it may seem a bit harsh, Mr. Dawkins coming down so hard on harmless superstitions like psychic readings and astrology. Then again, it is perhaps that kind of compartmentalization of reason that leads to "blind faith" and fanaticism.
Loved the videos. And I agree, he looked like he was ready to run screaming from the room with all the chanting LOL. Thanks for posting the links! :)

Thanks a bunch... It is a hillarious opening scene. Looks like he is quietly panicking because something got caught in his throat. Although the first link is brain numbingly incorrect... Maybe it is, but I smell pot and don't have the attention span to sit through more than 1 minute of creationist garbage. Thanks again for the links!

The first link needs to be corrected. It sends you to Ken Miller's discussion.

No, I am currently reading his book though.....
For Sunni Sky .... "God created it" is definitely a scientific explanation. Now put it up to the science council to ask for the Nobel prize.

I knew it was only a matter of time. He had to do it to be intellectually honest, but I still don't like to see him attack the harmless hippie-types.
