There are lots of specifically based religious shows on television today. Specifically religious shows are anything based purely on a religion and their beliefs. If a member of the royal family died or got married, the service would be broadcasted around the world and shown on all major channels, also if a famous religious figure dies there funeral will also take over the major channels. This happens because we are a Christian country and the people mentioned above are figure heads of the Christian church. As a Christian country, when it is a Christian festival I.e. Easter, Christmas services would be transmitted from churches/cathedrals. These shows are broadcast for people who are housebound for whatever the reason might be. Late at night some channels may also broadcast other services from other religions during special festivals i.e. diwiali. These are shown late at night as it would be a minority that would watch these shows. Most main TV channels make documentaries based on religion. The religions or practices shown in these documentaries are often different from Christianity or a strict form of Christianity. This is yet again because we live in a Christian country, so most people know the beliefs and morals of Christians but are interested to know other religions beliefs and morals. Many shows will be based on Islam as this is the second biggest religion in the world after Christianity. This is good because it can help to cut back on ignorance between religions that causes hatred. In lessons we have watched 3 religious documentaries.
