Picking and choosing from religion

BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Picking and choosing from religion

Is there anything wrong with picking and choosing what bits of religion you follow?

Is there anything wrong with picking and choosing what bits of religion you follow? And later, is becoming a new parent harder for men than it is for women?

Is there anything wrong with pick and choosing what bits of religion you follow?

There's new research being published in America which shows that more and more people are adapting religion to their own personal circumstances, and rejecting the hard and fast rules of organised faith. 

Is that something that you recognise in your life? have you decided that you can't observe all of what your religion asks of you so you'll do the best you can? If you're SIkh, how do you feel when you see someone saying they're a Sikh but cutting their hair ? If you're a Muslim do you know people who observe the whole month but may drink and smoke when its not Ramadan? Can you be a Hindu if you're not a strict vegetarian? 

Later in the show, Is becoming a new parent harder for men than it is for women? Do men need as much support as a woman does? Do Asian men help out with new born babies or are they quite useless?
