Religion is a controversial business. In modern Britain, many people see faith as being at best outdated and quirky, and at worst divisive and regressive. But Britain is led by a committed Christian, as is America, while many of the world's nations, and conflicts, are governed on the basis of religion. Like it or not, religion has a key role to play in our lives. In each programme of this four-part series, a celebrated follower of one of the great monotheistic religions will explain what their faith means to them, and examine not just the strength of their own belief, but also the key questions confronting their chosen religion in contemporary society.
