Synopsis

In his most audacious project yet, John Safran sets off across the globe to take on religion.

He road tests Buddhism in Japan and Voodooism in Haiti. He doorknocks in Utah, trying to convert Mormons to atheism. He tries to convince the Grand Dragon of the KKK to let him join even though he's Jewish. He tricks a Muslim extremist in to placing a fatwa on a colleague. He auditions for the Harlem Gospel Choir. He is washed in chicken blood in Mozambique. He drinks native American peyote in Arizone....and vomits. And much, much more!

Finally in the most compelling episode of the series, John is forced to face his demons by a Christian exorcist.

"Totally off the wall....He makes me laugh. Robyn Oliver, Sydney Morning Herald

..when it comes to satire Safran's the clear winner. The Melbourne Age
