Hollywood star Rainn Wilson called out the anti-Christian bias in Hollywood after watching the HBO series “The Last of Us.” The former “The Office” slammed the recent episode of the hit series for featuring a villainous character quoting Bible verses.
He said: “I do think there is an anti-Christian bias in Hollywood. As soon as the David character in “The Last of Us” started reading from the Bible I knew that he was going to be a horrific villain. Could there be a Bible-reading preacher on a show who is actually loving and kind?
President of the LIBRE Initiative, Daniel Garza, said: “Defamation of Christianity has become the most unoriginal and tired cliches in movie/TV series storylines.
“It’s prevalence is much more than a bias against an entire people, it is meant to undermine faith and position the secular-minded as only ones with altruistic intentions.
New Christendom Press CEO Eric Conn said, “Goes back to Mr. Collins in Austen’s ‘Pride & Prejudice.’ The preacher man is nearly always portrayed in a negative light. Also true of Hollywood today.”
Sean Kernan said:
“I lean left but Last of Us still made me roll my eyes quite a few times with its Hollywood nonsense. Had to stop watching.”
Other social media users found some examples where the opposite is true:
“Mel Gibson’s character in Signs is a standout Christian having a crisis of faith which ultimately leads him closer to God and saves his whole family.”
Another said:
“The only one I can recall is “7th Heaven”… it dealt with a preacher’s family dealing with real-world problems.
“It gained a lot of popularity. Of course the actor was later found to be a deviant IRL and it made big news.
“So for me, the memory of his character is now stained.”
