If there is anything that is divisive, explosive and sometimes deadly, it is religion. Yet the same religion is the harbinger for peace and tranquillity. People kill and maim en masse in the name of religion and so are people comforted and even galvanized to fight injustice using religion and morality. This programme is designed to help you appreciate why religion is so deadly and yet so crucial for the survival of mankind. It will explore the teachings and beliefs of the major religions of the world, remove the scales from your eyes and help you see the beauty of religion and the contribution the major religions – Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc – have made to not only the peace and security of the world but also the problems created by religious zealots
