This was shown today on Detroit Public TV. I don't know who paid for it, but it was a xtian approach to American history which, of course, only told a fraction of the story. It said the the term "dark ages" was a misnomer because of some inventions that occurred in those 800 or so years. One person talked about how the printing press led to an explosion of information being disseminated throughout Europe. She failed to mention what percentage of the population could read and that most works were written in Latin and Greek. The film tried to establish that xtians were responsible for all that is good about the U.S. without mentioning that most of the founding fathers were religiously skeptical deists. It talked about the xtian Wilberforce who worked to end the slave trade without mentioning all the xtians who were involved with the slave trade.
It was religious propaganda. I'd like to see the BBC production of "A Rough History of Disbelief" put on Detroit Public TV as a response.
