For film there are much better sources than the public library, especially online. Why would you be so dismissive/limited when it comes to artist who don't agree with you? I don't agree with Bresson and Dreyer, but they're both among my favorite filmmakers. Hell, The Passion of Joan of Arc is one of the handful of films I'd have no problem declaring the best ever made, and it was clearly made by a passionate believer. I should be more clear. It is more than not agreeing. It is actively disagreeing. I actively disagree with the metaphysical (theological) position Carl Dreyer takes in Ordet but have no problem declaring it a masterpiece. Same thing goes for Handel's Messiah and Bach's Passions/Masses. You have the nerve to lecture non-believers for not understanding/appreciating the art of religion, and yet here I am, a non-believer, appreciating deeply religious works of art, while you can't bring yourself to experience, let alone appreciate, any great works of art by atheists. Hypocrite, much?
