The Shared Light

What happens when the story of God is passed down like a childhood game of telephone? Across centuries and cultures, religions have split, adapted, and reinterpreted themselves, yet their core messages remain strikingly similar. From Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to Hinduism, Buddhism, and even indigenous traditions, the baseline often comes back to peace, love, and the search for meaning. In this episode, Nova explores how faith has been shaped by culture, history, and even misunderstanding, drawing parallels from fast food menus to color wheels, and asking hard questions about atheism, satanism, and the shadows at the edge of belief. If the essence of so many traditions is the same light, why do we spend so much time fighting over the details?
