It depends on how much you believe and how much you participate within the religion, obviously devout Muslims pray 5 times a day no matter where they are.

[Fez]

1) What is your gender?

Male

2) How old are you?

15

3) If any, what religion do you follow?

Agnostic, but I lean towards Protestant Christian

4) What television channel do you watch most out of the list below?

Hard to say, probably Channel 4


5) What type of programme do you watch the most out of the list below?

A tie between Documentary and Sitcom

6) Do you or have you watched any programmes that focus on relgion? If so please specify which (one or two examples will do).

Yes but they were age-old Channel 4 documentaries that I can't remember.

7) Would you be interested in gaining an insight into another religion and what it has to offer?

I'm not sure yet, I'm agnostic so I'm sitting on the fence for now.

8) Do you know anything about the Buddhist religion? If yes please specify (only vaguely) what it is you know.

Yes, I do know they believe in a circle of birth, somewhat similar to reincarnation.

9) Would you be interested in a documentary focusing on Buddhism and people within the religion? If yes please specify why.

Yes, I find anything about History/Religion/[insert 'apparently' boring topic].

10) Do you believe religion affects the way people act socially? Please explain your answer.

Yes, I think that for the most part, people won't let religion interfere with their lives but sometimes it changes them. My friend is a Catholic and is only against Abortion only because of her step-father, because of her upbringing she can be easy to sway and a little light-headed when it comes to her own personal opinion.

11) How do you perceive people who practice the Buddhist faith to be? (EG - peaceful, understanding, angry, arrogant, etc)

I think that their religion allows them to be whoever they want to be, public opinion would have you believe them to be peaceful and understanding, I've never met one so I wouldn't know at all.

12) Do you believe joining a religion can change a person? If yes, why do you think so?

Yes, it can give faith and let people maybe even live for something. The idea of an afterlife is enough motivation for anyone to die peacefully or be worry-free when it comes to thinking about death.

11) How do you perceive people who practice the Buddhist faith to be? (EG - peaceful, understanding, angry, arrogant, etc)
Very peaceful and calm people. Not your average joe.

12) Do you believe joining a religion can change a person? If yes, why do you think so?
I think it has that sort of power yes, I don't think it can change everyone but I believe it gives people faith which is very important whether religions are true or not. It can also make people more generous and charitable which is surely a good thing.

I would only be interested in the contrast aspect, on how Buddhism is different to my religion. This i would find interesting.

12) Do you believe joining a religion can change a person? If yes, why do you think so?
Similar to question 10, it brings certain restrictions to what you can or can't do so it definitely would change someone. Probably for the better. I think it could change a person's attitude to life as well.

[Inseriousity.]

1) What is your gender?
Male

2) How old are you?
18

3) If any, what religion do you follow?
I'm not officially any religion but I've been raised in Catholic schools so my morals tend to be similar to Catholic, I suppose.

4) What television channel do you watch most out of the list below?
- BBC 1

5) What type of programme do you watch the most out of the list below?
Soap

6) Do you or have you watched any programmes that focus on relgion? If so please specify which (one or two examples will do).
Not in my free time, no. In school, I've watched 'The Miracles of Jesus' (BBC1) and 'Godless Society' (Channel 4) but don't know if that'd count or not.

7) Would you be interested in gaining an insight into another religion and what it has to offer?
Yes, I'd love expanding my knowledge further.

8) Do you know anything about the Buddhist religion? If yes please specify (only vaguely) what it is you know.
- Buddha
- Aim: Enlightenment
- Buddha had a religious experience - this started it off.

9) Would you be interested in a documentary focusing on Buddhism and people within the religion? If yes please specify why.
No because I'm just too busy!

10) Do you believe religion affects the way people act socially? Please explain your answer.
Yes, religious people (in general) tend to be nicer although in a way they also stay firmly in their own groups and this can affect how they interact with the 'outsiders'

11) How do you perceive people who practice the Buddhist faith to be? (EG - peaceful, understanding, angry, arrogant, etc)
Hehe generalisation of Buddhism is probably the HUMMMMMMMMMMMM meditation :P

12) Do you believe joining a religion can change a person? If yes, why do you think so?
Yes, for better or worse? Well that really depends on the person not the religion but faith/religion has a massive influence on people's lives as it's such a grand gesture. To suddenly have a God-like figure in your life is not going to keep you the same as someone who doesn't believe. Not a huge difference, atheists can still be moral people too but religious people are more likely to be as they have a higher being 'governing' them.

Yeah, it's always interesting to see how other people view issues.

8) Do you know anything about the Buddhist religion? If yes please specify (only vaguely) what it is you know.
Oh god I don't really remember much of what I did use to know. Nirvana is like the ultimate level of kinda spiritualness they can reach I think, where they've reached total content. Once they've reached nirvana they don't have to be reborn again I think.

9) Would you be interested in a documentary focusing on Buddhism and people within the religion? If yes please specify why.
Yeah, blatantly I know very little about it and more knowledge is always good.

10) Do you believe religion affects the way people act socially? Please explain your answer.
Yes. If they follow their religion's teachings closely then this can only affect them in ways that are different to the social norms nowadays. Of course they'll be people who are religious, or at least believe in some religious teachings, but then don't choose to follow all the religious teachings.

Peaceful and generally hard working.

I'm always interested to learn about other religions and cultures so yes.

Yes I think so. Religion often impacts on a persons daily routine and obviously their relgion can impact on their morals and how they view the world.

11) How do you perceive people who practice the Buddhist faith to be? (EG - peaceful, understanding, angry, arrogant, etc)
Largely peaceful people, I guess one of the generalisations would be about them meditating, although I don't know if this is a true generalisation or not.

12) Do you believe joining a religion can change a person? If yes, why do you think so?
Yes definitely. As I said above, religious people often have a different view of the world to those who have a differing opinion to them. Their morals and the way they conduct themselves often in turn follows this

I believe it can, I believe the various teachings religions can offer can make people aware of certain things, and make people see things in a different light. I also believe that it can influence their beliefs and change their actions accordingly.

Not usually, ive watched the odd documentary on multi-cultural Britain but thats about it

7) Would you be interested in gaining an insight into another religion and what it has to offer?
Buddhism has always interested me as a religion, but other than that other religions do not appear as appealing to me.

8) Do you know anything about the Buddhist religion? If yes please specify (only vaguely) what it is you know.
Vaguely I find the idea of Karma and inner peace to be very interesting and over all a very interesting aspect of looking at life

Yes it would interest me due to I would like to find out more about this religion

Practice's of the Buddhist faith to me seem very logical and way to express yourself through peace and meditation

Only if a person has a very strong reason to become part of a religion and that they truly believe in the idea's and theory's put forward by such religion do I believe they can change themselves as a person

I used to be before I decided to be Atheist but not really interested any more.

As far as I know followers of the Buddhist religion are highly moral, friendly and not violent.

Again, before being Atheist I might have been.

10) Do you believe religion affects the way people act socially? Please explain your answer.
It has to really. There are so many different religions with countless different rules and guidances that people live their lives by. They without a doubt have an effect on people's every day behaviour in various different situations.

Peaceful and easy going.

12) Do you believe joining a religion can change a person? If yes, why do you think so?
Yes. It might open their eyes as it where, to how that particular religion understands the world. Even as an atheist I'd say this could often be a good thing depending on who/what/where etc.

Yeah, Buddhism because it's interesting. But nothing else.

8) Do you know anything about the Buddhist religion?
I know they follow what Buddha believed, that living a good, peaceful life will earn you reincarnation as something higher in the circle of life. The balance of nature and all that, and they have a strict diet and routine.

Like I said, I find Buddhism interesting.

10) Do you believe religion affects the way people act socially? Please explain your answer.
Yes, becoming a Christian changed my outlook on everything. It gives me purpose and meaning and makes me see people as God wants them to be, not how they act.

11) How do you perceive people who practice the Buddhist faith to be?
Peaceful people, but disillusioned.

12) Do you believe joining a religion can change a person? If yes, why do you think so?
Yes, we only have one life on Earth, so discovering that you were actually created for a reason has a huge effect on the way a person lives their life.
