I went to Sunday School till I was sixteen and my parents are quite religious. So more times than you think.

So you think broadcasting a choir singing hymns is akin to an infomercial asking for new followers?

Well if Songs of Praise is promoting Christianity then the link is obvious? Why else would it be promoted?

The post you quoted was about how often I watched SOP. I'm certain SOP is no ratings winner

Yes, because I asked you how much of it you had watched to come to your views about how Songs of Praise is promo for Christianity.

I take it that it was your own viewing of the programme that led you to your conclusion? Therefore I was questioning what it was about the show that fell into "promotion".

I never said it was a "ratings winner" but it clearly has a loyal audience of Christians in this predominantly Christian country. Will there be many viewers for a show broadcasting a Buddhist mass in the UK, as an example? Doubtful.

I didnt need to watch too much to conclude that a broadcast of a religious ceremony was a celebration of Christianity.

The fact that it was a Christian ceremony.

I also doubt there are many Buddhists who converted after watching an advert in a cinema.

If you want religion go and find it. I dont think people should expect any religious coverage on Tv or in cinemas.
