You know what’s strange about merlin?
There’s no Christianity in this show.
I thought the Arthurian myths were supposed to have some religious undertones?
Um, did I just think that because of monty python and the holy grail?

Being a bunch of geeks, they genuinely took great pride in their work, regardless of their budget constraints. They’ve quite proudly claimed - and others have confirmed - that The Life Of Brian is the most accurate depiction of that era of Judea put on camera, despite being a complete piss take.
IIRC Arthurian legends are set and/or originated in pre-Christian Britain but have been retold so many times by medieval Christians that Christianity became a big part. So you could make a case for presenting them with or without it.
