===2000s: Atheism and return to directing===
In 2002 Miller directed Cosi fan tutte at Rønne Theater (1813) in Rønne, Bornholm in Denmark. In 2004, Miller wrote and presented a television series on [[atheism]] entitled ''[[Atheism: A Rough History of Disbelief]]'' (more commonly referred to as ''Jonathan Miller's Brief History of Disbelief'') for [[BBC Four]], exploring the roots of his own atheism and investigating the history of atheism in the world. Individual conversations, debates and discussions for the series that could not be included due to time constraints were aired in a six-part series entitled ''[[The Atheism Tapes]]''. He also appeared on a BBC Two programme in February 2004, called ''What the World Thinks of God'' appearing from New York. The original three-part series aired on [[public television]] in the United States in 2007.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.dallasnews.com/news/faith/2007/04/17/pbs-to-air-disbelief-series/ |title = PBS to air 'Disbelief' series|first= Sam|last= Hodges|website=The Dallas Morning News|date = 17 April 2007}}</ref>

In January 2009, after a break of 12 years, Miller returned to the [[English National Opera]] to direct his own production of ''[[La bohème]]'', notable for its 1930s setting. This same production ran at the [[Cincinnati Opera]] in July 2010, also directed by Miller.
