Dr. Strange Director: Christians Are Greedy Racists

“Don’t even call me Christian.”

by Alex Parker

According to an ABCNEWS/Beliefnet poll in July, 83% percent of Americans identify themselves as Christians. So what does Hollywood — the industry that theoretically wants to fill theaters with patrons — do? Why, it caters to…oh, wait — it doesn’t. This was demonstrated by a tweet from Dr. Strange director Scott Derrickson, which was posted Saturday.

In addition to 2016’s critically-acclaimed megahit Doctor Strange, Derrickson has been the eye behind successful films such as The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Sinister. Having also co-written Strange, Derrickson would seem to have a knack for appealing to audiences. The filmmaker seemed to have lost considerable mojo, though, as he attacked members of the world’s largest religion:

Christians put Trump into office, because mainstream American Christianity is racist, greedy, and nationalistic — things Christ was vehemently against.

So don’t ever call me an Evangelical. In fact, don’t even call me Christian unless you know what I mean by that.

Of course, one can expect a hardy backlash when you offend a group with 2.3 billion members. Particularly when your statement is based on ignorance and bigotry. Even if you are a self-described Christian, which Derrickson is, though apparently with footnotes:

Call me a Christian and I’ll ask you to clarify what you mean.
