Five Faces of God Jack Pizzey investigates the five religions that flourish in south-east Asia. In Thailand they say that to be Thai is to be Buddhist. In Muslim
Indonesia the government tries to check the advance of militant Islam by limiting the time the faithful can spend on religion. In the Philippines, animism pervades Christianity and one bizarre sect collects kneecaps to protect itself from bullets.
And Hindus celebrate the January festival with startling pain-defying rituals, piercing their flesh with metal hooks and skewers. Written by JACK PIZZEY
