Bolton, who presents the Feedback programme on BBC Radio 4 told Radio Times magazine that “just six months after the Archbishop of Canterbury called for broadcasters to take religion seriously, it seems the BBC is doing anything but”.

“How can people feel they’re being welcomed as equal citizens if we don’t bother to find out about what is often the most important part of their life, their faith?
