History has shown how, for centuries, the Christian Church kept art as an object for evangelizing, controlling and manipulating the collective imaginary through the narrative content of painting and sculpture.

​

Today many of Christianity’s derived streams keep most of these ancient communication strategies. Some branches of this religion forbid watching television, enjoying movies and entertainment through video games due to its "anti-Christian" content and as a way of counteracting these they have created their own image industry, one that corresponds to and fulfills God’s desires.
