Propaganda

I believe this video definitely is propaganda. It uses a lot of indirect, sarcastic mechanisms to achieve its message, 

but I think that it is similar to the video we watched that the British made to make fun of the Nazis in WWII because 

it uses a funny/sarcastic point of view. The video keeps talking about what would happen "If God disappeared...", 

however, the point that the video tries to make is that all these things are either ridiculous and wouldn't actually 

happen (like feeling empty inside) or that they've already happened even with god (random natural disasters would 

occur). I believe it is propaganda mostly because it offers no voice to the other side of the argument. It achieves its

purpose in my opinion, because it makes some of the claims of religious people look illogical.

I believe it went viral because it can be used by both sides. Religious people can send this video to friends who are

religious and say "Look how intolerant they are of our beliefs. They make us look dumb" while atheists can sent it

to each other and say "Look how illogical religion is." Either way, the video creates controversy and makes both sides

want to give their take on it.
