The Right Rev Dame Sarah Mullally has officially become the new Archbishop of Canterbury after Justin Welby resigned last year. She is the first woman to serve as top minister of the Anglican Church in its 1,400 year history. Social media has arguably been bringing the Church closer to younger people but according to an American think tank, there is no clear evidence of a revival in Christianity in the UK.

Anglican Minister, Dr Ian Paul, lays out the significance of this appointment and explains how modern Christianity is changing, and then Chief Executive Officer at the National Secular Society, Stephen Evans, analyses religion's popularity in the UK. We hear from Former Political Editor, Vincent Moss, who believes there will be a snowball effect as less and less parents teach their children about religion. Finally, Petrie hears from you and finds out if you're religious or not and the reasons why.
