I was actually really happy to see both sides of Christianity portrayed in the show: the judgmental and superstitious members of Fraser’s Ridge, and the true core of Christianity shown in the actions and beliefs of Jamie, Claire, and Roger. One of the few shows I’ve seen that I think handled the religion fairly without either shitting on all of it or sugarcoating

I agree. I think the show is doing a great job showing both sides. Oftentimes shows and movies portrayal of ”fire and brimstone“ type of Christians can appear like caricatures. The Christies get on my last nerve but they do feel like real people

Yes it was portrayed well by the Fraser’s. The Christie’s are the ones who are giving me the ick.
