Has Hollywood ever really cared about God – I mean the true God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost? Probably not. The great god Mammon is another business entirely. The movie and now television industries exist for one reason: to make money – pots of it. But regarding God, producers, directors and screenwriters have not been stupid: as long as Americans appeared largely Christian, they knew how to please ’em. Ben-Hur, The Sign of the Cross, King of Kings and myriad lesser films drew large crowds and, of course, made money. The Christian audience was happy, the Hollywood moguls became rich, so who could complain?
