A new poll commissioned by Pure Flix, the filmmakers behind the recent hit God’s Not Dead 2 has revealed what people feel Hollywood’s attitude and views are towards Christianity.
The poll which was conducted by the Barna group asked the question What is your opinion of Hollywood’s treatment of Christianity?”
The results showed that 32 percent of Republicans and 5 percent of democrats feel that Hollywood treats Christianity badly and has a negative view of Christianity. This is evident in the way Christians are portrayed in secular movies. Though since Passion of The Christ, Hollywood has been more accepting of Christian movies.
David A.R. White, founder of Pure Flix said “That’s one of the reasons why we started Pure Flix over 10 years ago because we wanted to make positive uplifting life affirming content that ultimately catered to the morals and values of what our society and culture was built on.”
Actor Pat Boone, who appears in God’s Not Dead 2 said “Hollywood doesn’t like it when people tell them to stick to moral rules because it makes a lot of money breaking those rules. Orgies, vampires, zombies, debauchery of all forms. Anything goes.”
The results of this poll comes a week after a billboard advertising God’s Not Dead 2 was banned in the US after it was deemed to be incendiary and too political. David A.R. White added “I think it more and more represents where our culture is. We even have some theaters now that are questioning booking our films. Then, you have the whole billboard issue going on, so it just seems that ultimately as believers as Christians, our goal is not to be in spite about all of this stuff, it is not to say we are being discriminated against. But the other question is who is going to stand up and start speaking out against some of this stuff happening?”
God’s Not Dead 2 is very relevant to these situations and the culture of today. With exceptional performances from Melissa Joan Hart and Jesse Metcalfe and appearances from Lee Strobel and J. Warner Wallace bringing a real authority to the film, God’s Not Dead 2 is a well produced extremely relevant, exciting, dramatic and powerful must see film exploring the proof that Jesus existed as well as standing bold for our faith.
