Everybody knew up front they'd have to live under some harsh laws at some point, and the producers had made it clear there would be an adjustment period and then the laws would be implemented.

They made the governor look like a jerk in that it looked like he was the one making the laws (although the voiceover did remind you that the laws he was coming up with were in place in 1628). By extension, because he's a Baptist preacher, it painted a somewhat grim picture of of Christians, even though he wasn't actually making the laws, but was reading documents that the producers gave him, and was just roleplaying.

There are people in this country that think many Christians would love nothing better than to return to the kinds of laws and lifestyle of the 17th century.

Hmmm, do you think there was a little subtle planning to 'defame' Christians from the producers by selecting a conservative Southern Baptist as the Governor?

I did find the post interview with the Baptist interesting. Seems even he felt uncomfortable imposing religion on others...
