They have some good shows, the history channel... but most of their stuff about christianity is very slanted toward mysticism and the occult from the ones I've seen.
But you know, a good amount of bias against christianity isn't really all that far off base if you consider the torture and bloodshed that went on in europe for a good thousand years, more, when the catholic church was in charge, and even for some time after since that type of rule had been established for so long. And even though what they practiced wasn't christianity by a far stretch perhaps by your or my standards, and obviously it wasn't considered christianity by the thousands upon thousands of christian 'heretics' who tried to leave that church or refused to convert and were burnt at the stake or killed in the public square, they called it christianity and they used the name of Jesus and they carried their bibles, and it wasn't all that long ago really... and in the minds of many people still, that is christianity and it really doesn't line up with what the bible teaches, and so, people scoff. Albeit, the scoffers may be as ignorant as the catholic inquisitors about christianity, but thinking in general simply has not come around to truth and probably never will as far as our culture is concerned because there's too much gore and bloodshed and powerlust in the way to ever permit it.
I think, truthfully, that ignorance was pounded into our culture for so very long, it'll be a very long time before it loses it's grasp. unless a miracle happens to change the human heart.
