His “pantheon” was a pantheon of liberal leftist ethos being made mainstream under the guise of entertainment.

All helped greatly in spreading atheism and in breaking down traditional morality.

Because he was so talented and funny, he was able to have this negative effect.

Annie Hall and Manhattan were much more than comedy movies and were meant to be more.

“All helped greatly in spreading atheism and in breaking down traditional morality.”

All should be Allen.

Allen helped greatly in spreading atheism and in breaking down traditional morality.

Allen as much as anyone mainstreamed the New York leftist atheist ethos in to the general popular culture of the US.

LOL what are you talking about? Allen’s comedy routines and films had no effect on religious belief and morality at all.

Nichols and May pioneered an intellectual form of comedy. Nichols went on to direct the films ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf’ and ‘The Graduate’ which broke all sorts of ridiculous Hollywood censorship taboos. Is that what you’re talking about?
