I'm talking about programs that focus on nothing more than topics like "Who Was Jesus?" (popular around Christmas and Easter) and "History in the Bible". The Bible is not a history book and Jesus... what has he got to do with history? How are we even sure he was REAL to begin with?

And if they're going to study religion, then why do they just focus on Christianity and not the more interesting religions like Paganism and Shintoism? What about Judaism and Islam? What about Hinduism and Buddhism?
As much as I hate to admit it, we live in a fundamentalist Christian United States. The religious right are a LOT more numerous than people who would be interested in those other religions unfortunately. It's demographics and money.
