Mark Twain allegedly claimed that 'Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool.' Is religion for fools? Our guest investigated the five major world religions: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism; attempting to understand what they claim and how their claims can be accessed. What, if anything, can a layman learn about ’God’ or an ’afterlife’? What can logic and tangible evidence reveal?

Our guest: Once a religious sceptic, Bill Medley used to work as a professional entertainer for fifteen years, and his stand-up comedy routines sometimes included satires on religion. He is the author of the award-winning book Religion is For Fools, and served as a pastor at the Frankston Presbyterian Church for 14 years.
