Germany / A historic german church St. Lambertus, was demolished last month. The 19th-Century Catholic site in Germany was destroyed to make way for a coal mine.

Forty activists climbed the church to protest its demolition. They displayed banners reading: “Those who destroy culture also destroy humans”.

Germany / A German politician Arthur wagner for a far-right, anti-Islam party shocked the country by converting to Islam.

A lawyer acting for the doctor, named only as Mohamed A., argued unsuccessfully that the 2-inch beard did not necessarily indicate his religious practices.

London / Faith organisations have welcomed a report that says the BBC should increase its coverage of religious issues. The BBC’s religion and ethics review, released in Dec 2017, recommended increasing coverage of non-Christian faiths.

FINLAND / A study says that even if you do not believe in God, religion shapes you. The study in Finland explored how religious and non-religious people responded to the idea of God.
