Beyond Belief Cultural Religiosity
Is cultural religiosity an oxymoron and totally untenable? Is it on the rise or has it always been there? Is it damaging to traditional religious practices? And, does it really matter?
To examine these questions, Giles is joined by:
Michael Rosen, author and poet, known for his work exploring humanism and atheism. He has co-written a book, "What is Humanism? How do you live without a god? And Other Big Questions for Kids," which looks at how humanists approach fundamental questions about morals, ethics, and the origins of life.
Kate Smurthwaite, patron of the Humanist society and feminist, atheist comedian and activist. Internationally, she is probably best-known as the star of a viral video in which she claims that she doesn't have a faith because she is not an idiot.
Justin Brierley, writer, documentary maker and broadcaster behind the book and podcast series, 'The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God'. Over the course of his work Justin looks at why new atheism grew old and why secular thinkers are considering Christianity again.

BB UK star 'Nasty Nick' makes 'strange' career move after quitting fame
Glyn Wise shot to fame as a contestant on the seventh series of Big Brother UK in 2006 and had a hit song about cooking an egg - but now he's become an ordained priest Rocketing to fame with a catchy egg-cooking song on Big Brother at 18, Glyn Wise has now officially started his new mission to "spread the good word of God" as a fully ordained priest. Back in 2006, a keen young chap kitted out as a lifeguard was prepping to enter the Big Brother house. As an avid enthusiast of the programme, he'd scrutinised every season with the goal to charm the socks off the producers during auditions by feigning a slightly mean streak. His strategy paid off, securing him a place on one of the most popular reality series ever. Yet this lad was far from the notorious 'Nasty' Nick Bateman; rather, he was Glyn Wise, the wholesome lad from Wales, juggling A-level studies. Overwhelmed with excitement just before walking into the house live on telly, he had an accident right there in his quirky lifeguard costume. Now 36, Glyn reminisced about the mishap with The Sun, confessing: "I went to the toilet and managed to sneak a look through the window and could see somebody going into the house. So then I got really excited, forgot what I was doing and I peed my pants." Despite the wet mishap, he got himself dry with a hand dryer and proceeded to win over audiences with his sincere and unworldly charm. He forged strong bonds with fellow housemates like Pete Bennett (still a mate and the ultimate winner), the late Nikki Grahame, and Welsh compatriot Imogen Thomas. Upon leaving the house, he was taken aback by the extent of his fame. His song about his first time cooking an egg became a popular ringtone, and he found himself performing it at nightclub appearances, where he was earning around £2,500 per gig. However, as his star began to fade, his anxiety levels rose. He chose to return to education, attending university and eventually becoming a teacher. Yet Glyn felt dissatisfied with "real life" compared to the celebrity lifestyle he had briefly experienced, so he decided to travel. He ended up using his qualifications to teach in Shanghai, China, where his passion for faith was rekindled. Glyn has been a practising Christian since attending Sunday school as a child. In a 2022 interview with Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary on This Morning, he explained how working as a teacher in China significantly influenced his faith. He said: "Christianity is growing on a massive scale in South East Asia, so I went to church there, and even other teachers were like, 'do you want to come to Bible study class'. "I grew in faith as I went along with that. The pastor or priest was talking and I felt like everything he was saying was directly to me, and what was amazing was they were bringing the Bible into 2022, making relevance to every walk of life and that's what I'd like to bring forward." Glyn had been diligently studying to become a priest at a university in Wrexham, delving into theology and the intricacies of the Bible. He explained: "I'm learning theology, going into depth about the Bible and learning how to cope with people, because you're not only the vicar, you're someone to listen, you're a psychiatrist, you have to help sort people's lives out and spread the good word. So there's a concoction of stuff that you need to learn before you become a vicar." Once he completed his studies, he became a curate and has been spending time ever since waiting to be ordained as a priest by the bishop. Sharing his excitement with fans on social media, he posted: "Done it! I've been accepted for Ordained Ministry with the Church in Wales." In a recent post, Glyn also revealed he'd met King Charles III during a placement at a church in Wrexham. But now, after some time has passed, the BB UK star has now officially been ordained. Sharing a TikTok on July 7, captioned 'First week as Rev Glyn!', he can be heard saying: "As you see behind me there's all the graves, from the dust we came from the dust we will depart. So how are we supposed to enjoy life? Well Jesus told us two things; to love God and to love one another, to treat everyone the way that you want to be treated. So that's all we need to do, really. Go out and enjoy life otherwise." Bemused fans flooded his replies, with one saying: "Glyn from Big Brother???" while another added "I think I've missed a chapter." A proud follower proclaimed: "Darling, I am so unbelievably proud of you. I love you so very dearly." Although he now sports a beard and a shaved head, and carries himself with more maturity, Glyn is still recognised for his past, particularly his time on Big Brother. He incorporates elements of his previous experiences into his sermons, admitting: "I've got a beard now, I've shaved my head, I'm a man not a boy, but yeah, there's conversations about Big Brother that still come up." He shared interactions with churchgoers who remember him fondly, saying: "People come to church and are like, 'I really loved you when you cooked that egg'. And I'm like, 'Can we talk about Jesus Christ now, the Saviour?"

BBC ‘needs to get a grip quicker' after controversies such as Bob Vylan set
The broadcaster apologised earlier this month for the group's 'deplorable behaviour' after frontman, Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF' (Israel Defence Forces) during their set at the festival which was shown live on TV and the iPlayer. The BBC also said it will no longer broadcast live performances deemed 'high risk' – as Bob Vylan had been assessed – and its director of music, Lorna Clarke, also reportedly stepped back from her day-to-day duties. Ofcom chief executive Dame Melanie Dawes said on Sunday there could be a risk that the public will lose confidence in the BBC after the regulator previously said the broadcaster has questions to answer over its Glastonbury coverage. Dame Melanie told BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme: 'I think it's very frustrating that the BBC has had some own goals in this area, with the Gaza documentary and then with the Glastonbury coverage, and it does start to erode public trust and confidence. 'I think I would say that, above all what frustrates me and others, is that when these things go wrong it can take a long time for the BBC to see that something's happened when everybody else was there within a matter of hours. 'So I would say to the BBC I think they need to get a grip quicker, get these reports and investigations concluded sooner, otherwise there is a real risk of a sort of loss of confidence in the BBC, which is a shame.' Dame Melanie spoke ahead of a BBC review into the documentary Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone after it emerged its 13-year-old narrator was the son of a Hamas official. On the review, a BBC spokesperson said the findings will be published as soon as possible, adding: 'It is vital that this work is done as quickly as possible, but it must also be thorough and follow a proper process.' The corporation issued an apology after the Bob Vylan set at Glastonbury, saying: 'We deeply regret that such offensive and deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to apologise to our viewers and listeners and in particular the Jewish community. 'We are also unequivocal that there can be no place for antisemitism at, or on, the BBC. It said it was 'clear that errors were made' as it set out the timeline of the decisions made over it broadcast, adding: 'Bob Vylan were deemed high risk following a risk assessment process applied to all acts appearing at Glastonbury. 'Seven acts including Bob Vylan were included in this category and they were all deemed suitable for livestreaming with appropriate mitigations. 'Prior to Glastonbury, a decision was taken that compliance risks could be mitigated in real time on the livestream – through the use of language or content warnings – without the need for a delay. This was clearly not the case.' It added: 'Given the failings that have been acknowledged, we are taking actions to ensure proper accountability for those found to be responsible for those failings in the live broadcast. We will not comment further on those processes at this time. 'Any music performances deemed high risk will now not be broadcast live or streamed live.' The BBC has also promised to take action to 'ensure proper accountability' and issued an apology to viewers, especially the Jewish community. Avon and Somerset Police have also launched an investigation into comments made during the group's West Holts Stage performance. The group was already under a police investigation for comments made at a concert a month before Glastonbury. Video footage appears to show Bobby Vylan at Alexandra Palace telling crowds: 'Death to every single IDF soldier out there as an agent of terror for Israel. Death to the IDF.' The group issued a statement claiming they were being 'targeted for speaking up' after Avon and Somerset Police began its investigation. Formed in 2017, Bob Vylan are known for addressing political issues in their albums including racism, masculinity and class.
