Anyone else get the sense that Netflix's home improvement shows are normalizing religious nutbags? - eviltoast

It seems like they are cutting as much symbolism as they can out of the shots they decide to keep in the show but every other episode feels like " We’re a family with 9 kids and everyone is homeschooled. Oh yeah and we just happen to be active in our church too."
