      It's Christians. What else do you expect from a group of people whose whole religion is centered around martyrdom?
      That being said...
      "quote-on-quote"
      First of all, it's "quote-unquote". Secondly, you only _say_ that phrase, not write it. When written, you use actual quotation marks. Unless you're quoting someone, or writing dialogue in a story, that is. It's verbal shorthand, so the person you're talking to knows that what your saying isn't something you believe as well.

One day I over heard a room-mate complaining to another that he was gonna have to stop getting McDonalds every day for lunch and dinner cause it was starting to cut into is funds, he was being 100% serious and sounded so sorry for himself, I wanted to slug him in the stomach. What does that have to do with this movie? Well I'm Jewish, and whenever I hear the poor beleaguered Christians complain about religious persecution in the US I get the exact same urge as I did with my room-mate.
    My grandparents came to this country to escape being cooked, I lost a Muslim friend to a white supremacist shooter. Yeah, Christians, I totally want to hear a far fetched movie about how the government is out to get you for being Christian, or how tough you have it having to hear people say "Happy Holidays" you're so persecuted... At least they aren't making *many* movies about how the non-Christians are out to get them and glorifying violence against us anymore. But these sorts of movies fill me with concentrated disgust.

Actually had to deal with other fellow Christians thinking I was being mean to them myself last night on some forums when I got angry at an instance where the doctrine of eternal torment in hell was clearly ruining someone's life with mental and emotional anguish and instability ... and several others got offended that I am against their traditional hell doctrine and acted like I was bashing them. Oh, poor you, hell-lovers. You stand for ENDLESS TORTURE of your enemies and yet if someone calls it out you are the bullied victims "just trying to stand for truth".)
