Guys, can we please not sling insults or turn this into an argument about religion.

As for the actual episode in question:

No, I didn't fall asleep, & yes, I did see people going to church in the episode in greater numbers due to the uncertainty of the situation with the Visitors.

I didn't see it as being "relentlessly pro-Christianity propaganda" though.

As zing said, they were introducing a main character who was going against his faith & questioning things because of the arrival of the Visitors. He was also questioning the wisdom of the Vatican in their blind acceptance of the Visitors, & he was warning against people turning to blind worship or devotion of the Visitors.

I didn't see it as "pro-Christian", & I'm an atheist myself, so also don't want to have religion shoved in my face on TV.

In the US, some people are seeing it as being a criticism of "Obamamania".
