Are you saying facts should be suppressed or changed so they're not anti-religious?

And I am not saying there is something wrong about pushing an agenda...even if you employ undertones to do it. Persuasion is how we grow. What is wrong...what is sad really.....is for a reasonably bright person to not recognize it.
What exactly in your view would make relating history and scientific facts less "agenda-pushing"?
Making excuses for religious views? Giving AiG equal airtime to the science content on Cosmos?
Isn't it funny the only people crying about "an agenda" are upset their particular brand of lies aren't being presented alongside facts as "alternative facts"?
Look, for the umpteenth time...I don't have a problem with agendas or undertones. I have a problem with people who don't realize they are being fed one. Those people are stupid or lazy.
If you want to get people excited about science. Do a show about science. If you want to get people excited about science and disgusted with religion....do a show like Cosmos which is about science and critical of religion.
