"Amazing Grace" Ignores the Source of Wilberforce's Anti-Slavery Fervor

Get Religion has a piece titled "Keeping religion under wraps", which covers "how little religion was included in [the movie "Amazing Grace"] about someone [British politician William Wilberforce] so religiously influenced".

Despite this apparently intentional oversight, the movie is nonetheless getting outstanding reviews, even from those critical of the lack of religion depicted in the film.
