Why aren't Christians portrayed on TV programs?

I will admit, I like some TV programs. I love sports, I love HD stuff such as shown on Discovery, but I also like adventure, shootemups. 24, Lost, Alias, NCIS and some of the BBC mystery-dectective programs plus AE dectective stuff like Midsomer Mystery, Sherlock Holmes, Perot. But, while watching them , I like others do not see many spiritual-minded people represented in the story lines. Especially in American scenarios. If there are really 100,000,000 Christians in the USA, where are stories showing Protestant as well as Catholic or Jewish religious people? Hollywood has for years given us Catholic or Jewish stories with some sympathy until recently. However, Protestants, in the majority here in America , show up as buffoons or con artists. No stories of mega-churches, no stories of regular blue collar Christians, kids as Christians. I mean ,7th Heaven , is even done and that compromised with its Christian underpinings over the last 4 years. No Christ centered lives there. Nowadays, everybody is so guilty of being a Christian that multiculturalism, multireligions are the rage. It seems people in America, the media, the university elites, the TV and film elites are so guilty about our make-up that they have to dismiss the Protestant Evangelical Christian foundations as biased or whacko but surely not really American!!! Let's push gay agendas, let's push open borders as if America is the world's Uncle Sucker and we better all undermine our Constitution and values, let's ban capital punishment, let's ban all guns, let's ban, ban, ban anything which Americans hold dear. That is what the media and TV and film push. So no wonder 100,000,000 Americans are dismissed.
