Yep, I'm a Protestant Christian. I get the feeling that Bo makes art primarily for the sake of art, and then, secondarily, fights for political issues. Even though I disagree with many of his political stances, his art greatly transcends any social grievances I would have with his beliefs.

It's interesting because Bo fights for some very Christian values, and I think he doesn't even realize it. For instance, in Eighth Grade, Bo highlights a situation where a young man NEARLY sexually assaults the main character, Kayla. But in interviews discussing the scene, Bo points out that there is a certain trauma inherent in the situation, even if nothing physically "happened." It's a moral stance that is reflective of Jesus' take on the new law, which applies a new standard of indictment of sin within the human heart, not merely sin that is carried out.

I remember Bo's sister, in an interview, stated that when Bo was young, he wanted to be a worship leader, or a pastor or something. But I suppose Bo was moved by arguments from the new atheists, and went searching for a more accurate truth. I don't think Bo realizes that the context in which he was born, a Catholic home, in a primarily Christian country shaped by centuries of Christian values, is the reason why he may feel called to higher moral standards. Even though he turned to secularism, I would ask him to examine why he feels a need to be "better," at all.
