There is a war going on - a civilized war of words. Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss (amongst others) are trying to communicate to the world that Science and Religion are incompatible. That is, science is rational and works whereas religion teaches falsehoods and is a negative influence on progress and peace. Giving seminars, appearing at conventions and having an Internet presence can help get this message across but the more avenues for the message the better. Dawkins and Krauss have collected some of their talks, added some commentary by others and included some other material to make a movie called "The Unbelievers".
The trailer on You Tube describes the movie with:
'The Unbelievers' follows renowned scientists Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss across the globe as they speak publicly about the importance of science and reason in the modern world - encouraging others to cast off antiquated religious and politically motivated approaches toward important current issues.
Here's the trailer:
