It’s A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood: A Look Back At Mr. Rogers

Mr. Rogers Took A Unique Approach To His Devotion To God

Fred Rogers was a deeply religious man but his views were not along the lines of mainstream America at the time. He openly spoke about how he believed everyone was a reflection of God. For that reason, he refused to condemn homosexuality, even at a time when it was par for the course.

Despite his deep religious convictions, he didn’t use those beliefs to influence his audience, focusing instead on the best in people with the hopes they would find their own way in a respectable manner. He truly was a one of a kind person and an amazing role model for the children he shared his TV home with nearly every day.
