Removed potentially disrespectful descriptions of belief systems and made more factual
I don't know about others, but I find these things annoying when I watch a movie or TV show or whatever when I expected to be <i>entertained</i>. Getting preached at or strong implications of how I'm supposed to act based on someone silly made-up belief system is irritating.Note that this is different from a documentary. When knowingly watching a documentary, I'm expecting to be educated, not necessarily entertained. It can be interesting to see how various belief systems evolved and what they believe, but that's very different from a story where unfounded beliefs are taken for granted to be true. Or even worse, trying to convince me to I should follow the traditions of the made-up belief system.
