I propose we open a home for the deluded like ol’ Kyle, preferably somewhere in the disputed area of Syria.

Is this a joke?
It's the least religious but most humanist film you could ever see, said David Wilson in The Guardian, because it suggests people should fix their problems on Earth rather than waiting for God to help out.
Pure, unadulterated B.S. If left to his own devices, George Bailey would have offed himself. His life was saved by the character Clarence -- an angel sent by God to intercede in the chain of events that were unfolding that day.

You mean like hoping your child’s compound fracture will heal just fine without going to the doctor?
Faith and common sense give each other a wide berth.

I do not know how atheist or communist IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE is, but ain’t an “uplifting Christmas film” to me. Hell, I find it down right depressing.
There are at least 10-15 better Christmas films, starting with IT HAPPENED ON FIFTH AVENUE.

Atheists don’t believe in angels.
Communists don’t believe in the power of the individual.
I’m calling BS on this one.

It’s a sin to kill yourself over life’s challenges God sets before us. You may suffer, but you surmount trials & tribulations. Not exactly heathenism & what may keep many from attempting Mexican Cliff Diving Championships.

the film represented a rather obvious attempt to discredit bankers by casting Lionel Barrymore as a scrooge-type so that he would be the most hated man in the picture.

George used his own money to save the savings and loan. That’s not communism. George’s friend willingly donated from the heart to save George. That’s not communism.

Its just a bunch of catholic fu fu.
Bells ringing when ‘angels’ get their wings?
The angels that have wings have had them for at least 6000 years. Angels are not people that have died.

Does communism celebrate honesty and friendship?
The film does demonize the rich property/bsnk owner Mr. Potter, but people like that exist everywhere.

Along w the above comments, the film had a strong pro defense overtone (to wit, Bailey's bro).
The film is deservedly pro American and part of our culture.

Drab Bedford Falls lacks most of the bars, pool halls, bowling alleys and dance clubs that make Pottersville a lively city instead of a drab hamlet Hmmm, in which hamlet would most prefer to raise their children?

Communism is government mandated “charity” at the point of a gun.
Its a Wonderful Life is about the benefits of being a charitable individual.

Even if he does at one point pray to God, [Bailey] is not religious at all, but simply a man trying to find transcendence in the routine of his life and in his duties to his family, friends and community Isn't that what "being religious" is in this world, the ongoing search for (and hopefully connection with) transcendence?
