The problem with this site

I've just got an idea to maybe make this site worth existing.  I've stopped coming to it, because there are no real movie reviews from people anymore.  First off, let me say, I'm a devout Christian...but it wouldn't really matter what religion I was, many of the reviews on this site have the same problem.  They crucify a movie because they get their pacifier-sucking, whining little feelings hurt, because if a movie hints at the idea that God is real or the Bible is a divine book, they immediately start stoning it for having a 'Christian agenda' or the producers are trying to cram religion down everyone's throat.   I've seen movies about Islam, Satanism, all sorts of religious themed movies that have nothing to do with Christianity and I don't get offended to the point that I think the producers are trying to indoctrinate me with something.  Why can't reviewers be made to keep their reviews to reviewing a movie based on, you know....REAL issues, like acting, plot, special effects, etc.  Take the Book of Eli for instance, the only movie I've ever reviewed on here.  That movie was butchered as being some kind of Religious propaganda movie.  I seen folks chew up 'The War Room' and they actually admitted they didn't even watch the movie, they just chopped it up because it was a Christian based movie.  Did the people that got offended by that movie or 'Facing the Giants' or 'God's Not Dead' not know it was a Christian based movie before they invested 2 hours of their lives watching it?  Why do that and then get on a site like this and crucify the movie for being Christian based?  I would be offended by 'Religolous' or whatever that movie was by Bill Maher, but here's a novel idea...if I know it's going to offend me, I WON'T watch it.  And I certainly won't watch it and then get on a site like this and stone if for attacking Christianity, because I'm smart enough to know that's NOT what this site is made for, or is it?!     Review it for what everyone should review a movie for, not it's religious content.  My point is, is this a religious debate site or a movie review site?   If anybody is asking me, which they are not, and I'm sure this message I'm typing here will probably be deleted and forgotten before sunset, but I would have rules about keeping reviews to just reviewing movies on certain criteria and leaving the religious attacks out of it.  That is all, God bless and farewell...
