Marginalization. Part 3?
So Vox thinks that the Miller ad is just another aspect of the marginalization of Christian influence:

But the fifth possibility is the most likely, and that is the
idea that the Miller Brewing Company simply doesn't worry about
offending Catholics because the Catholic community has proven over time
to be completely toothless despite its large percentage of the
population. It has surely not escaped Miller's attention that Catholics
and other Christians frequently complain about the television shows
coming out of Hollywood, the books being published in New York City and
the subjects being taught in the public schools, and yet they continue
to watch those Hollywood-produced shows, read those New York
City-published books and send their children to those very public
schools.
It is not enough to cry and complain about how awful the
secular culture is, because even if the charges are true, it must be
remembered that it is the Christian dollar that makes most of these
things that the Christian community finds offensive successful in the
first place. Before Christians can hope to change the culture, they
must first change themselves and their patterns of consumption.
