Don't you find it annoying how on tv they show these religious/church shows such as "hour of power" or those worships where people dance around and run up and down the aisle like idiots......but there are no shows for atheists(as far as I know)!!! It's not fair, it's like these false religious messages are being thrown at us, and they're brainwashing children!

TV is overrated in general. I don't have one. I read instead. Plenty of good books for atheists.

I simply change the channel. But I also have a child and I feel that I should not impose my beliefs on her. Just as my Catholic mother allowed me to make a choice and follow it, I want to do the same for her. If she shows interest, I might keep the channel on, but generally, because it is all propaganda, I tend to steer clear of it and switch the channel to PBS so she can watch "Curious George". I am against mainstream religions forcing their beliefs on American children. My own mother quit attending her church because they kept trying to intimidate her into baptizing my daughter (who is 4 yrs old) after I had made it clear that this would be something my daughter would decide on, not us or some church. But Myth Busters is a wonderful show, both me and my daughter watch it.

Well, I don't think there could be a TV show for atheists, as we're a pretty diverse group. Besides, I'm either at work or sleeping when these shows are on. Let the godbotherers have their fun.

Ummm...is someone forcing you to watch these shows? Personally, I ignore them and shudder at the idea of a Catholic channel and never let my tv stop on it. Here in Minnesota there is a show for atheists on the public access channel. Don't know if there are any others in the country.

Well, yeah. I'd like to think that atheists spend a little more time reading (there's plenty of good rational, logical literature out there) than watching TV. I could be too optimistic though.

No way!... I LOVE these shows. Not only do they remind me that I made the right choice to leave their religion, it's also quite entertaining!
I love how a 'blessed green handkerchief', mini-squirt bottle of holy water, 'touching the TV screen', and all that other stuff can miraculously HEAL me.... just send $9.95 + shipping and handling.... LOL
The kids are brain-washed, definitely, but when they grow up, hopefully they'll see the truth... I certainly did. But heah, if they don't, oh well.... it's survival of the fittest anyway, right?! lol

I find those shows annoying, but I find it even more annoying when I can't find my remote so I could change the channel. But there are plenty of other shows for atheists to watch.

I hate targeted marketing much more than I hate religion. Every time I see something that isn't tailor-made to fit the twenty-something mold I happen to fit in, I breathe a sigh of relief.
I hope there's never shows for atheists.

I am an atheist, and christian tv shows don't bother me at all. I can change the channel if I want. I can turn off the tv if I want. There are much better things to do than watch tv.

I don't know about that. I find shows like that to be freakin' hilarious! Superstitious half-wits dancing around like their butts are on fire or flopping around on the ground like a fish out of water? That's quality entertainment!
