Criticism
Christian pop culture, being so widely available, has been open to much criticism. One charge is that Christian pop culture tends to be superficial, a lot like pop culture. Cultural items that require extensive experience, training, or introspection to be appreciated seldom become items of popular culture. Another claims that Christian pop culture is rooted more in sensationalism than reality.
Within Christianity, it is often criticized for being too secular. It is sometimes seen as being pushed by corporations to produce public consumerism, despite internal claims that it is based upon spirituality.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
