This was a particularly frustrating episode not only because it reaffirmed Supernatural's privileging of Christianity and white dudes over every thing else, but also because it could have been so.much.more. The gods of the world *should* be taking sides in this battle! Some on the side Christians call "Lucifer's", some on the side Christians call "Michael's". But every pantheon would have their own reasons for being on that side,

It would be hard to do within the space of a single episode, but a great idea for a season -- especially since we already spent S4 on the whole Christian myth.
