Then why are so many flat earth documentaries funded by predominantly christian forward organizations?

Also, it doesn't say that. But, that doesn't mean that it's a belief among people that the bible does say the earth is flat.

For the record the modern flat earth movement is indeed based on Biblical literalism. The Bible doesn't say the earth is flat but it contains passages that could be construed as indicating a flat earth(anyone can google the passages, I'm not trying to defend these interpretations). The 19th century pamphlet Zetetic Astronomy: Earth not a Globe is their book of pseudoscience which all prominent flat earthers memorize and regurgitate ad nauseam. The dude who wrote that was motivated to prove a literalist interpretation of the Bible. He formed the Zetetic Society which evolved into the modern Flat Earth Society. Usually they claim the coverup is to hide God and the firmament. Why? Who the fuck knows. They don't even know. They also claim NASA is the Hebrew word Na-sha meaning "to deceive".
