If not then wouldn't it behoove the being that did to influence it in a way to support his agenda rather than the deity he hates?
Of course. If God doesn't influence the entertainment industry, then clearly the devil must. It's so obvious.
Unless there's a third option I'm not seeing...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

What is they don't exist, Alex?

I facepalmed at the time, before I knew there was a term for it. Now I get the chance to do it all over again. I'm wondering just how widespread this sort of thing actually is.
To be fair, the so called reality of alien visitation is at least a little bit more believable than the invisible sky daddy. Only just though.

Sometimes I am at a loss to understand why so many people do not follow my fine example of always being correct. It is quite simple when you are about to say something which is wrong, you correct yourself and instead say something which is right. Because I have kept to this, my children deeply respect me, and it must be said why my posts on this forum, are universally greeted with awe and adoration. I think if you told your father that in future he would be better of saying things which are right, rather than wrong, it would be of an advantage to him.
Best post ever, and one which I identify with.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Buddah doesn't have to do anything about it. It's Cthulhu. Remember, he always appears in the dreams of the artists.

Dammit, we've said His name enough today that I will have to listen to the reading Andrew Leman did of Call of Cthulhu. I recommend everyone find that on the HP Lovecraft Literary podcast. His readings are brilliant.
