Hollywood, like any large business, has to play to their audience and like it or not the evangelical xtian right is resurgent. We could speculate all day long why this is -- Obama, global warming, years of leftist Hollywood films, FNC's explosive growth -- but the fact is these things are cyclical.
I suspect we'll be in for a long unpleasant slog through Jebusland until maybe 2020, after Pres. Palin has royally fucked us up.
