Why do most Americans feel they have to foist Christianity upon everyone in the world?!

This movie was based on true events.

You can't be insecure in your beliefs when you have none.
shareA better question is, why do so many people demand that every movie they see or book they read validate their beliefs? Only a very insecure person cannot brook being exposed to a belief to which he or she doesn't subscribe.
Also, religion is in the world, and so are religious people. Showing it is not an attempt to "foist Christianity upon everyone" as you so melodramatically put it. It is simply depicting the world as it is. In fact, one could say that the complete absence of religion in the VAST MAJORITY of films and tv shows (including those in the USA) is actually a rather unrealistic portrayal of the human race, which is overwhelmingly religious.
Your whiny, knee-jerk defensiveness resulting from being exposed, rather briefly mind you, to a bit of religion just shows that you are very insecure in your beliefs.
It was a very religious time

Yet little regard given that the slaves were Muslims.
It's that man again!!
... Hollywood just had to throw in Christianity and the Bible.In this historical depiction you'd have preferred a more secular America? Golly, why even bring slavery into it then? That's not really my bag either.🐭 share
One thing that should perhaps be pointed out is the major efforts at abolition were led by religious organizations much like the modern-day civil-rights movement got its start in the Black Churches of the 1950's.
Take away the involvement of the churches, and very little is left of the fight against slavery.
Steven Spielberg is definitely not someone who feels the need to foist Christianity on the world.
He's Jewish.
