Rainn Wilson Calls Out Anti-Christian Bias in Hollywood After ‘Last of Us’ Episode

Actor Rainn Wilson criticized the anti-Christian bias in Hollywood on Saturday after the latest example from the HBO series “The Last of Us.”

From his Twitter account, the former “The Office” cast member called out a recent episode of the series for featuring a villainous character using Bible verses in what he suggested was a predictable formula.

“I do think there is an anti-Christian bias in Hollywood. As soon as the David character in ‘The Last of Us’ started reading from the Bible I knew that he was going to be a horrific villain. Could there be a Bible-reading preacher on a show who is actually loving and kind?” Wilson tweeted.

“The Last of Us,” a post-apocalyptic show based on the video game of the same name, featured a group of cannibals led by a what appeared to be a Christian preacher. The group justified their actions by quoting Bible verses, and a later scene featured the preacher attempting to rape the series protagonist Ellie, a young girl.

Defamation of Christianity has become the most unoriginal and tired cliches in movie/TV series storylines.

It’s prevalence is much more than a bias against an entire people, it is meant to undermine faith and position the secular-minded as only ones with altruistic intentions. https://t.co/Ka6gWRdraD
