Oh My God
British church attendance keeps falling and youth workers, atheists, and academics disagree about why. Toby Douglas-Bate, who wrote and presents the film, puts that question to a mixed set of voices: Alpha International's Nicky Gumbel defending the church's outreach to young people, teacher and writer Alom Shaha speaking from the atheist side, and contributors including James Addicott, Sky Cady, and Adam Rush weighing in on what changed. Filming moves between Bath Abbey, Holy Trinity Brompton, and Kingswood School in Bath, giving the argument a mix of institutional and everyday settings rather than a single pulpit or studio. The film itself is a student production, made by director Jonathon Aiken at seventeen with Douglas-Bate handling research and presenting, and it stays close to the interview format rather than reaching for dramatization. What holds it together is the contrast between people defending organized religion's relevance and people explaining, plainly, why they walked away from it, with statistics on declining belief used to frame both sides of that conversation.
