In this episode, Caoimhe asks how important religion and spirituality is to young people growing up in Northern Ireland today.

Religion in Northern Ireland has many connotations and links to its sometimes dark history, but do young people still find a place for faith in their lives? Caoimhe meets with young people of different faiths, beliefs and opinions all over the country, including Sam 脫 Fearraigh in Donegal, who discusses his recent conversion to Judaism, and County Down student Anna N铆 Nuall谩in, who was brought up as an atheist.

Caoimhe gets an insight into different religious celebrations by attending a dinner party in Belfast to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. She also delves into ancient Irish religious practices, travelling to County Westmeath to visit the sacred Hill of Uisneach and take part in a fire ceremony. Will Caoimhe be any more enlightened as to the role religion plays in the lives of her generation?
