37% of Generation Z believe in God and only 27% identify as religious. So, what is going on in the world of faith for the younger generations? Aleem Maqbool speaks to JB Gill from the boyband JLS about his strong Christian beliefs and the interactions he has with fans about faith and spirituality. Their conversation sparks a lively discussion on attitudes to religion among younger people and the role of celebrities and social media. Aleem is joined in the studio by Jewish educator, and activist, Rabbi Lara Haft Yom-Tov who is a Masorti Rabbi at New North London Synagogue, Muslim influencer Nadim Al-Maktar and the musician Paul Bloom who made his career in Christian music but has since then left the Christian faith. Producer: Katharine Longworth Assistant Producers: Linda Walker and Olivia Copeland Editor: Tim Pemberton
