You’ve got to remember, if you’re criticising this, that religious programming doesn’t just appeal to the religious- for exactly the same reason that so many churchgoers don’t believe in god. It’s a nice thing to have on the telly. Music, nice pictures, people being happy together. You don’t have to ride a motorbike to watch the racing and you don’t have to have a god to enjoy the godding.
Religious programming is dirt cheap to make, so that’s a positive. But it should be representative. Right now it’s an anglican-fest which is daft- their numbers have fallen by 50% in the last 20 years, and today they account for only 15% of the population. Catholicism accounts for 2/3ds as many people so should have 2/3ds of the air time. Other christian sects should have more. Bring on the muslim mainstream screen time too. Other religions should have their share though that gets pretty small once you’re past the big 3. There certainly shouldn’t be a second more for protestant christianity til the others have equivalent representation, I’m sure anyone can see the fairness in that.
I suspect that’d make most of the people who support this lose their shit, too, so it’s got to be worth trying.
