I found this article interesting, primarily because the point of anti-religious programming is for the sole purpose of turning people against said religion. No, I do not believe that such programming turns ordinary people into mass-murderers, but I do believe that such programming has emotional and psychological affects on uninformed people.

 

This programming clearly attacks the emotions and gets people witch-hunt mentality ramped up, so there is a correlation, though I don't believe we can make a casual link between hate shows and violence.

These programs exacerbates crowd/mob mentality by planting the seed and watering it.  But we do understand what is going on here. As we see Jehovahs day clearly in our view.

Ignorance plays a key role.  Just because it's on TV, there may be a mentality that it must be true and some get sucked into it hook line and sinker.

 

Jehovah protected his people by teaching them.

Exo 23:2 You must not follow after the crowd to do evil, and you must not pervert justice by giving testimony to go along with the crowd.
