Am sure there is more to it than that but that the media is a major unifying force against the Godly from all church s. While many Christian church s still teach of Christ some no longer do.

This might be what you were looking for, “Explain that the reference to Nimrod being a “mighty hunter” refers not
only to his ability in killing animals but also to his use of violence
to gain power over and influence other people. “Though the words are not
definite, it is very likely he was a very bad man. His name Nimrod comes from … marad, he rebelled; and the Targum [ancient Jewish translations or paraphrases of the scriptures], on [1 Chronicles 1:10], says: Nimrod began to be a mighty man in sin, a murderer of innocent men, and a rebel before the Lord” (Adam Clarke, The Holy Bible … with a Commentary and Critical Notes, 6 vols., 1:86; see also Old Testament Student Manual: Genesis–2 Samuel, 3rd ed. [Church Educational System manual, 2003], 57–58).” https://www.lds.org/manual/old-testament-seminary-teacher-manual/introduction-to-the-book-of-genesis/lesson-18-genesis-10-11?lang=eng

After many generations, unspeakable things once considered outright abominations by the first generation are shrugged and smirked at by the current generation. Indeed, we are being led along by Satan with a flaxen cord, and most people don’t even realize it. Or care.

If anyone knows the reference to this extended definition, I would be glad to know it.
