Well like 70% of this country believes in angels, so how surprising is all that, really?

Funny how they never write about someone leaving religion and god.

Well there certainly is license for creativity ( not that creativity has much to do with tv), don’t underestimate the power of the almighty...dollar that is....
Religion has a boat load of cash, and a vested interest in keeping the sheep penned. The non-religious don’t have the same resources.

It's a story line that believers push because they think an atheist simply does not know the facts about their god. Once these things are known an atheist will become a believer.

Mainstream TV seems to be a one-way street when it comes to depictions of religious faith. Still waiting for a show that centers on - and humanizes - an atheist point of view.

When I read stories like this I am reminded of the sad story of the holocaust survivor who lost his faith in god at a death camp. TV tends to avoid those stories, of which there are many.

Which immediately begs the question "Which god?" thereby showing that even complete imbeciles can direct and produce TV shows.

There is no dividing line between popular culture and religion, in fact religion is very much just a marketable product like every other one.

And just as the fact that, when one socially hopeless young man, discovers that the product he was sold, does not make him devastatingly attractive to the opposite sex, like the advert says. Will not stop the marketing people using that ploy, again and again, because they know that there are plenty more socially hopeless and naive young men out there. So the growth of sceptical culture, will not stop them marketing religion for every dollar they can get out of its victims.

I’ve said it before, but Miracle Workers was great, imo. God was right there in the plot but he was, well, like a human.

The angels knew he existed, but did they believe in him? Not really, he wasn’t really interested in doing a good job, just coming up with the next idea.

Apparently there’s a movie called, ‘Signs’ too where a priest loses his faith.
