Do what? A non-religious Veggie Tales? What's the friggin' point? And this from the Network (as the Hot Air link with Michelle Malkin points out) that fought to use the F word on prime time TV. And that had no problems showing a Veggie Tales parody on SNL which showed a Catholic priest vegetable admitting to years of abusing underage gherkins.
Well. Welcome to the brave new world of tolerance and diversity. Unless you're Christian, or religious, I suppose.
God references squashed: Veggie Tales creator steamed (CNN).
Had he known how much he would have to change the show -- including Bob and Larry's tagline, "Remember kids, God made you special and he loves you very much," that concludes each episode -- Vischer said he would not have signed on for the network deal.Here's the link where Michelle Malkin talks about muzzling the veggie tales.
"I would have declined partly because I knew a lot of fans would feel like it was a sellout or it was done for money," he said, adding that "there weren't enough shows that could work well without those (religious) references."

Your post title "God: Worse than the F word" sorta fits into the singalong from the 1st video:
Oh, God is worse than the eh-eff word,
His Name will frighten children when they hear It on TV, oh
God is worse than the eh-eff word,
and He's terrifying N-B-C.
Liz,
major fan of the veggies.
Holy Flipping Cow Snot!
That is flpping nuts! The word "God" is prohibited on NBC is crazy. What's the point of showing the program?
UGGGGG!
