Poll: Hollywood against US moral values
The majority of Americans believe Hollywood goes against their religious and moral values, a Marttila Communications Group poll finds. Commissioned by Anti-Defamation League, the 'American Attitudes on Religion, Moral Values and Hollywood' poll surveyed 1,000 adults throughout the US. The results showed that 61% of the participants believe religious values are 'under attack' in America and 59% agreed that 'the people running TV networks and major movie studios do not share the religious and moral values of most Americans'. "The belief that religion is under attack underlies the drive to incorporate more religion into American public life. Disturbingly, 43% of Americans believe there is an organized campaign by Hollywood and the national media to weaken the influence of religious values in this country," said ADL national director, Abraham H. Foxman. Nearly 40% of Americans agree that 'dangerous ideas should be banned from public school libraries,' and about the same number do not believe that 'censoring books is an old-fashioned idea.' Some 49% believe that the United States is becoming 'too tolerant in its acceptance of different ideas and lifestyles.' Posted by: Fred 2008-11-18 |
