My Sunday School faith came alive watching Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar in the 1970’s, but generally speaking, I do not enjoy religious movies or religious characters on television. With rare exceptions, like Father Mulcahy of MASH fame, Hollywood tends to portray religious people as flat, one-dimensional moralists, like Pastor Jeff on Young Sheldon, or it insists on bringing Hollywood glitz to the stories of the Bible, as in the classic film, The Ten Commandments.
