Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.TOMORROW, Granada Television launches a religious programme, This Sunday. The Candid Caller asked: Do you believe in the 'God spot' and have Britain's religious values diminished?
Mr Leonard Priest of Cosham, Hampshire: 'I don't watch religious shows. I'm not religious. I do think the country's religious values are going down the tubes. I used to go to church years ago but then I was in the services and taught to kill - and that put me off religion, really.'
Mr Jeffrey Parson of Birmingham: 'No, I don't believe in it, although I think the country is still as religious as it ever was.'
Mrs Ivy Saint of Southampton: 'I don't believe in too many religious shows and I do wish they wouldn't change the 'God spot'. I used to love Songs of Praise. We used to look forward to it every Sunday, but it hasn't been on since Meridian took over. I believe in God and think Britain is less religious and caring than it used to be.'
Mrs Elizabeth Bishop of Bilston, West Midlands: 'I do believe in it, although it's not as good as it was. I like Highway and I'll give This Sunday a go. The country's religious values have disappeared. I've always been religious myself.'
Mr Clive Surman of Thurlaston, Leicestershire: 'I don't have a television, I have the radio instead. I still never tune in to the religious broadcasts, though.'
Mr Mark Vickerage of Tyneside: 'I don't watch religious shows or go to church, but I've got some half-beliefs. Religious values are dropping because of the reduced social values sweeping the country.'
