I suspect anyone who makes an argument that ascribes motive to another. It is rarely accurate.

That said, are you familiar with the work in question at all, or are you merely speculating and/or projecting? I, myself, have read the book, which I found to be quite good. People like the characters do exist, and yes, they make for good reading.

I have not read the book, but the shows are often changed from what was in the book.

Based on the trailers,

************************************************************
Amanda Vaughn appears to be the only sane member of this community, and she doesn’t appear to be a practicing Christian.
************************************************************
When her mother drags her and her children to church, Amanda tells her mother that she “didn’t raise the kids with any particular religion.” While we all know that there are hypocrites in every institution and every religion, 

********************************************************************************
GCB uses southern Christian women as the sole, stereotypical examples of self-indulgence, shallowness and hypocrisy.
*******************************************************************************

Other scenes show young girls being encouraged to wear revealing tops. When one mother expresses concern that her
*********************************************************************************
daughter‘s old cheerleader uniform is to tight, Chenoweth’s character tells her not to worry “cleavage helps your cross hang straight.”
*******************************************************************************

Later at the game, the football team cheers when the girl’s vest pops open.

Clearly, this isn’t exactly a message Christian parents would want to send their daughters.

Although the series may prove better than its trailers and name suggest, the fact that 

***GCB ridicules God, morality, and Christians, who are little more than stereotypes, raises concerns for both families and Christians.**************

In this light, everyone should remember that ridicule was a tool that Adolph Hitler used to murder 6 million Jews during World War II.
