| About the Programme | ||
| What the World thinks of God is a unique BBC event examining the modern world's relationship with God. A major poll of 10,000 people in 10 countries has been carried out for the programme. And there are some startling findings about the current state of belief in Britain - and some surprising contrasts between other countries around the world. From our studio in London Jeremy Vine will bring together religious leaders, leading authors and thinkers in a uniquely global debate. | ||
Contributors
In London Jeremy Vine's guests will include the Poet Laureate Andrew Motion, Pakistani politician and former cricketer - Imran Khan. Other guests from around the world include Cardinal Francis Arinze of Nigeria, Jonathan Miller - atheist and broadcaster, and world famous author Ariel Dorfman.

Some of those taking part in the debate have written articles for this website and these are being published ahead of the programme.
Opinion Poll
The BBC commissioned ICM to poll in 10 countries - UK, United States, Israel, Indonesia, India, Mexico, Lebanon, South Korea, Russia, Nigeria. The 10,000 people interviewed have provided a unique insight into the state of belief in the modern world - in which countries are people more likely to go to church, where do they pray the most?
War Audit
What the World Thinks of God has also commissioned an investigation into war and conflict through the ages which asks to what extent religion or religious differences have been a contributory cause. The research has been directed by the leading authority on peace studies, Dr Greg Austin of Bradford University and the study will be published here at the website ahead of the programme.
