Disciple's Journal: Movies and television get religion—or do they?:
"'Thank you, Harry. Harry, here in Hollywood I've been speaking with studio, network and cable executives about a meeting they had earlier today with a relatively new evangelical media watchdog group, Christians for Demographic Parity. With the box office successes of Passion and Narnia to bolster their case, emboldened by the Christian Right's apparent success in getting NBC to pull the controversial Book of Daniel, the group emerged from today's meeting standing tall and claiming that they detect a shift in the entertainment industry's attitude towards people of faith.'

'Peter, the group has an unusual name. I mean, we're used to seeing words like family or decency or traditional values in the names of these organizations, but demographic parity? What's that all about?'

'Yes, Harry. Over the past eighteen months, the group's founder and spokesman, Pittsburgh-area businessman Jordan Bellows, has been criss-crossing the country, visiting suburban, exurban and your nicer metro-area churches to spread the good news that evangelicals are no longer the 98-pound weaklings of market demographics.'"
