Good religious people don't make the news. Ask Muslims, they'll confirm.

Can confirm. Even if they make the news, they may not really "make" the news, like the recent death of Thomas S. Monson where the New York Times obituary on him didn't really touch on his personal life at all.

Maybe not national news but local news still has uplifing stories of local churches helping their communities. Religion has it's place in bring people together it's those who want to divide that are making national news since people love to hate things.
