Allowing someone to attack a movie based on it's Christian message????

Why would the administrators of this website allow people to attack movies like "Facing the Giants",
"War Room", or the "Left Behind" movies for their Christian message? Why is this allowed? There are lots of movies and documentaries that attack Christianity. I don't attack them, in fact, I'm smart enough to NOT WATCH THEM! I wouldn't get on a movie review site and attack a movie or documentary because I was offended by it's message! You should not allow people to one star and attack a movie because you were offended by it's Christian message. Folks should only be able to review a movie based on special effects, plot holes, score, acting, etc. Right?

@Michelle Ok...but first, you need to enlighten me because I don't know what constitutes a violation of your guidelines and what doesn't. I'll give you a for instance. Below is a review comment in the review section of a faith-based movie called "Tulsa" (2020), a Christian based movie. The reviewer's username is "ropelawshiel" They write...

More sky daddy rubbish. Can we grow up as a species and embrace truths based on evidence. The film is just a bible sermon, the acting very basic, production, film pointless.

This comment is directed toward the Christian theme and has nothing to do with the quality of the acting, special effects, score, etc. Is something like this a violation of your guidelines?

I don't understand why this website allows people get on here and attack faith-based movies for their Christian message. Is that what this website is about? It baffles me, in the first place, that folks that are non-believers would waste their time watching movies about Christianity, if it's something they don't believe in and it angers them. I am a devout Christian and I would not watch Bill Maher's Religulous, for instance, because I know it attacks something that is very near to my heart that believe in whole-heartedly. But alas, people have the need to waste their time and watch movies that are obviously going to anger them, then get on here and attack the belief in God instead of critique a movie based on...proper stuff. I thought folks were only suppose to critique a movie based on regular ol stuff like plot, acting, score, special effects, etc. Why do you allow people to get on here and turn this into some kind of hate forum? Would you allow someone to attack a movie about the black culture with a bunch of racists hate and comments against African-Americans? If not, then why do you allow the attack on Christianity with such hate, just wondering?

Did you report the offending review(s)? You have the opportunity to do that, and to explain what you have said here, and if they agree with you, they'll take it down.

I also do not understand why people waste their time criticizing or attacking movies that obviously do not appeal to them. But I see that across the political and ideological spectrum.
