hidden these things from the wise

The question was never whether or not this would eventually happen: the question was always how soon? My related question is how on earth did an entire network not know that this would happen? How was this ever greenlit?

Any show that deals with Christian themes but isn't overtly positively Christian or evangelical would only draw criticism from believers. That's a third of the country right there who won't watch it. But you also have a third of the country -- hostile unbelievers -- who won't watch it because they hate all religion. The only possible audience in this divided nation is probably too apethetic to actively seek out such a show.

To me, the lack of overtly Christian shows on major networks proves to me the liberal media bias. Major channels look for popular trends or wide audiences and try to appeal to their tastes. It's why shows have scantily-clad women (appeals to men) and romances (appeals to women) -- the broadest pools possible. So if there are 75 million evangelicals in the country, why on earth aren't there more religious shows? If not for the sake of the faith, for the sake of your ratings? The only answer is because they actively choose to exclude such programming. And they shall answer for that stance in their ratings and on JDay.
