An enquiry by Hugh Macpherson

"We are citizens of a Christian country, and the BBC bases its policy upon a positive attitude towards Christian values." (Sir William Haley, Director General of the BBC, 1948)
"I object to the BBC acting as a kind of additional church with not very competent preachers" (Sir A.J. Ayer, 1974)

Most religious broadcasting In Britain is committed to a belief in Christianity. What place is there for the views of non-Christians and non-believers? What are the problems facing religious broadcasters?
