A brief article up at OneNewsNow.com has me pointing out the obvious: that Christians are far too often the bad guys in mainstream entertainment. Frankly, though, I think it goes beyond that. We are in a strange place where so-called mainstream entertainment doesn’t represent the mainsteam at all and in no area is that more true than in the area of religion. When you consider what a huge majority of Americans self-identify as Christians and yet how unusual it is to see the hero of a movie make that identification, it really is an almost bizarre disconnect, isn’t it? Especially when you add in the fact that religious movies with even a drop of quality make so much money.
You could almost make the case that Hollywood is hostile toward religion…
Nah!
Anyway, here’s the article.
