For one, it's only a survey of 1000 people, but
Hollywood is surely out of step with my values, the same goes for European cinema...that's why I have opted for Bollywood, even though there's often much to be desired in B-movies as well IMO....

LOS ANGELES: A majority of Americans say Hollywood doesn't share their moral
values, says to a poll commissioned by the Anti-Defamation
League, a group that
fights anti-Semitism.
Of those surveyed, 61% said religious values in US are "under attack," and 59% agreed that "the people who run the TV networks and the major movie studios do not share the religious and moral values of most Americans."
The poll, titled "American Attitudes on Religion, Moral Values and Hollywood," was conducted by the Marttila Communications Group, which surveyed 1,000 adults nationwide.
"The belief that religion is under attack underlies the drive to incorporate more religion into American public life. Disturbingly, 43% of Americans believe there is an organized campaign by Hollywood and the national media to weaken the influence of religious values in this country." said Abraham Foxman, ADL national director.
Among the survey's findings, 61% of respondents agree that "religious values are under attack in this country." Forty three percent said Hollywood and the national media are waging an organized campaign to "weaken the influence of religious values in this country."
