Book-a-Minute and religion

I don't laugh very easily, but I almost died when I read the Harry Potter condensation on Book-a-Minute. Great spoof of all the religious fundamentalists out there who think the books are satanic. I haven't read the books, but as far as I can tell, they encourage kids to use their imagination and are about good conquering evil...no harm in that as far as I can see. Unfortunately a lot of people have been fed all sorts of garbage by televangelists and such. Whatever happened to thinking for yourself?

I'm a Christian and all, and I'm certainly not mocking religion in any way, but sometimes I'm kind of ashamed of who is representing my religion in the public eye.
