    What is up with this article? The author didn’t provide the film’s plot until the last paragraph.

    The film “The Atheist” is directed by Mohamed Gamal El Adl and produced by Ahmed El Sobky. It deals with issues of religious extremism and atheism and attempts to present a special view that atheism sometimes results from overthinking religious issues, and on the other hand, religious extremism leads to excommunicating society. It took about 3 years to produce the film and obtain a screening permit, according to the director’s statements.

    Sounds like a shit-show to me.
