Why exactly was ESPN last night PROMOTING Christianity?

Late late last night, after Johnny got done listening to the Wild Mix Radio Network, he popped on the tube before bed. ESPN was showing the 'Super Bowl Gospel Celebration'. They were, through the show, actively promoting a religion. Yes. they were. They had current and former NFL players talking about their Christian testimony. They had gospel singers singing the praises of the lord. They had ESPN reporter, employee and former NFL quarterback Shaun King taking about his wonderful life and that it was all made possible by a Christian God. Amazing.

We're not complaining about the fact there was a Super Bowl Gospel Celebration, that's fine in and of itself. If you want to go see that, go see it, we hope you have fun and get something out of it. Our question is WHY on earth is ESPN ACTIVELY promoting a religion? What business is it of their to have the NFL Players gospel choir on?. They actually had Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens, a man once indicted for murder and aggravated assault and later found guilty of obstruction of justice getting jiggy on ESPN with the lord. WHY is ESPN showing this and giving away free airtime for religious programming? Aren't there already Christian themed television networks that would be happy to show this? Don't overt religious programs normally have to buy teevee time? What about Jewish workers at ESPN? Will they get a Super Bowl Synagogue hour? Will Muslim NFL players demand a program for themselves?

We have no idea what ESPN was trying to accomplish by promoting a religion on their network, we just think is was in awful taste to do so. It left a bad taste in our mouth.
