We watch shows that validate our beliefs.

Religious addiction is what you and I might call it, but they call it faith. Faith conquers all, because it is anything they want it to be. They don't want to be cured of that addiction because it makes them feel good. Their drug of choice.

You're right of course. I was just hoping there are some young tv people who are representing the godless youth: I keep seeing evidence that most people are followers, and I'm hoping there's something better to follow.

I was thinking about Big Bang Theory, honestly. That's probably helping.

Sheldon mocks god and religion while battling his evangelical mother.
The show is in its 12th (and last) season and the comedy writing is as good as ever.

they do a good job of bringing Sheldon's mother in as the religious foil, plus using Leonard's mother as the atheistic person.
