I enjoyed this one but it should have been a two-parter because the
resolution seemed a bit rushed after all the time they spent on the
setup. That said, I am tired of the trope of the world being a better
place without religion (Christianity).

Notice how these "brave" Hollywood "iconoclasts" never make a show that
suggests the world would be a better place without Islam.

That's because they fear they may find what a world without them would
be like if they did make such a show.

Which only highlights how much of a better place the world would
actually be without Islam compared to Christianity.

I don't know that Islam is the problem. It's just that there are too
many followers that are still trapped in middle age thinking. I don't
know if that's because too many countries didn't join the modern world
till lately, but were happy to go to war with each other. Again, like
Europe in the Middle Ages.

(So maybe the radical Islam followers will mostly disappear in a few
hundred years if they follow the Middle Ages example.)

No shawn. While the fight for what flavor of Christianity to impose upon
an unwilling population lasted for century after century in Europe,
conventional weapons and fighting techniques before the Boer Wars and
WWI weren't capable of mass destruction and devastation, nor were there
groups like Hamas willing to sacrifice almost their entire civilian
population in order to advance their religious cause.

If they continue to have easy access to conventional weapons, human
civilization as you personally enjoy it will not survive the next
hundred years or so.
