Derry Girls and degrees of religious difference - myth or reality?

How much are we shaped by our faith, the liturgy, the religious upbringing, the sense of identity? Do Catholics and Protestants really think and feel differently about everyday life?
This week brought the return of Derry Girls to our tv screens and with it the immortal lines "Protestants don't like Abba" and 'Catholics love statues" - among many other laugh out loud possibly true or false observations. Perhaps the fact that so many people did laugh meant the writer was on to something!
Could it be that there's many a true thing said in jest? Do we need to recognise difference, maybe even celebrate it?
Presenter Audrey Carville in conversation with the former Presbyterian Moderator Rev Ken Newell, Kathleen O'Hare, former principal of an integrated school, Chris Donnelly, vice-principal of a Catholic primary school and non-subscribing Presbyterian Minister, Reverend Chris Hudson.
