The pejorative aspect of the term implies that there's a battle between agendas contending for control of a narrative, and the content in question deliberately omits relevant information that doesn't support the preferred agenda:

Of course. That's why @Ahriman's definition is both self-invented and self-serving, and need not be regarded as valid support for his point.
Okay. But in that case are we supposed to believe that religious art throughout history wasn't simply meant to inspire belief or reverence, but rather was deliberately intended to suppress information that refuted the idea that God exists?
I mean, that's not quite Building Seven shit there, but it's pretty tendentious nonetheless.
