I watched the series Growing Up in the Universe by Dawkins (first episode:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHoxZF3ZgTo), it was pretty interesting. It's not really on religion, but a lot of the subject matter it tackles (evolution, origin of universe, etc.) is something that tends to be an issue between theologians.
I just discovered I was an atheist a few weeks ago. I've actually been one since I was a kid, I just happened to have the definitions of atheism and agnosticism mixed up. I'm pretty sure it's a common mistake to think that atheism is only the active belief there is no god, and agnosticism is an ambivalent stance.
It's really cool to know that there are so many people in the world who think religion is as dumb as I do (not that all atheists think this). I've been doing a lot of research on it, and it's really fascinating stuff. Especially About.com's blog on it:
http://atheism.about.com/. Lots of thought-provoking articles there.
