His view is hardly unique. I was constantly told both of these things growing up in a fundamentalist Christian church. I watched as more than one friend burned their music collection, refusing to let me have it because they'd be negatively influencing me.
Yeah I’m a different excommunicated catholic and yeah a ton of Protestants don’t understand anything about Christianity. It’s not all of Protestantism, plenty like the Quakers know what’s up. But there’s a strong strain in Protestantism of folks like fundamentalists who just seem to Bible bash and do selective reading of the worst parts, who think that its possible to fully believe every word is literally true as though this Jesus fella had a revolutionary idea of speaking metaphorically and that literal interpretations of every word of the Bible doesn’t get you with the most self contradictory mess.
