I think it is immoral to alter the work of ANY artist without their consent.
This just should not be done. It is CRASS commercialism at it's worst.
As for the secularization of society, it has been going on for years. I
think this sort of revision is nowhere near as vile as the revisionist
history that is being taught in our schools, wherein the role of religion is
seriously downplayed, except to focus on church corruption.
a concerned citizen,
