They turned the Washington Monument into a giant cross.

I think the show doesn't mention Jesus much is because they'd get backlash from people. So far I haven't heard of anyone trying to boycott Hulu over it. I'm guessin' they want to keep it that way.

The show is based on a book. And they want to stay true to the content of the book. It has nothing to do with supposed "backlash ".

Of course it's based on a book. The book only covers the first season as source material. After that the show is completely made up by the show writers. They could have taken any direction they wanted.

June talks about baptizing Hana at a church which was destroyed by geliad. They also showed a priest that was hanged in the wall.

So they make it clear there's a difference between the versions of Christianity we know about and the version Geliad practices.
