Overview

​It’s hard to say which is a more powerful force: religion or popular culture. We live with both all the time, even if we’re not paying close attention, and we invest in both, as well. Most of all, they’re related to one another, as well. Religion inspires the stories that drive television, movies and even music. And popular media has the power to shape our ideas about religious communities; that’s why Jews, Muslims, Christians, and everybody else wants to make sure that we present ourselves, rather than having others take control of our messages.
