Holliwood in the 30ies, 40ies and 50ies was largely influenced by the German style of the time before Hitler, since many of it's leading figures emigrated to the USA and continued their careers there.

"The triumph of the primitive..." As a species, humans have survived Earth's fickle climate mainly because of diversity. The problem with purity is it cannot adapt and remain pure. Empathy, the ability to understand one another, has also helped us move away from the primitive tribalism of the past.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
