Forsakers of the Faith

Germaine Joseph

4 Episodes

Forsakers of the Faith presents the thoughts, feelings, and events behind the experience of losing religious faith. It’s not really about theology. It is a platform for first-hand stories and reflections on ‘forsaking faith’. We look at the motivations, influences, inner-conversations and actions that it entails.

The show covers experiences from as wide a range of religions as we can reach, but with a focus on Christianity, Islam, and Judaism (Abrahamic religions), as we try to uncover any shared experiences and underlying themes. ‘Forsakers’ also puts the spotlight on those individuals who have not opted into their faith, at least not in their older age, but those individuals for whom much of their life and core identity was steeped in religion and religious practice.

Lastly, as the name suggests, the show gets to the nitty gritty of losing ‘faith’. What happens when you lose the beliefs your life has been founded on? And, when you look at what’s left, is there anything you didn’t expect to find?
