Just went looking for a religious program in the guide - there are none! At least not for 2 weeks.

PS. Though I consider religion a very important part of history. They should have more of it.

They were discussing the Gospel of Judas just yesterday and right after that, they brought on the "Bible Code", followed later that night with a program about the end of the world according to Revelations.

HEY !! Don't mock The Universe !!! It's one of my favorite shows !!! And The Universe has a lot to do with History actually.

Discovery Channel has gotten worse too. It seems all their programming lately has become... Bigfoot, UFO's, more Bigfoot, Ghost stories, etc....

I like the show, too, but on the History Channel...? Yeah, it's universal history, but don't you think it's more science oriented?

I'm going to have to say that that show goes both ways. Yes.. it's science, but also it deals a LOT with the history of the discoveries and the history of various things that they're studying as well. It's kind of a "History of the scientific discoveries" so it would be at home on either channel.

I think another reason that TV in general has gone downhill was that the writers strike killed a lot of shows and caused a vaccume that needs to be cheaply filled....hence... BIGFOOT every time I turn on the Discovery Channel and Ice Road Truckers when I turn on History. Reality shows are easy and very very cheap to produce. That's why there's so many of the damned things now. The Bigfoot stuff is just cheap filler they bought to drop into the gap.

Religion was the most important aspect to study of ancient man, and today regardless of how athiests twist it, it is still extremely important with 95% (Yes, athiests only make up 5% of the world population, though a very vocal one) of the worlds population following it in their daily lives. So get used to it I would say. History channel is doing its job since religion tells you what motivates man.

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?

Thats the funniest sh*t I have ever read! How do we know Jesus lived? There is more documented evidence on him than any person in HISTORY! Don't make me laugh if you want a decent answer!. i will come back to this in a sec.

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.
