My point it they are not advertised as 'maybe' true. There are whole channels dedicated to science fiction but we are aware up front that what we are seeing is entirely made up.

They're not "advertised" as anything. It is there for people who believe.

Much like any other channel is there for people who are into it, a target audience, everyone else won't bother.

People who believe in something that may not be true but is given as fact. My point was to Josh about the promotion of religion around the world and it not being comparable to the promotion of atheism.

It is comparable though. Religion has beliefs that may be either true or false, just as atheism does. Atheism especially so, considering there is no guidelines for truth and many theories can pop up - many of which will be false.

I am a person who tends to trust science more than religion, but at the same time, science is something that is fluid. Theories change and develop over time. So for that reason, it's wrong to ban religious adverts because you think they are false. You're entitled to that belief, just as everyone else is entitled to think they are true. We live in a multicultural democracy, so respect others beliefs as you respect your own.

I respect everyone right to faith and if that person given faith is right for them and helps them live their life then religion definitely works but I object to the teaching being given as true to all and the promotion of religion through mainstream media.

'Mainstream media' doesn't promote religion as far as I am aware.. everything is shown from a secular viewpoint, which is how it should be.
