Weirdly enough the first line: he insists it's "young" instead of "yo", I guess it sounds thuggish to him despite the obvious rap-inspired beat. He made a huge deal about it, enough to put up a clickbait video about insisting that everyone was wrong about a single word in the theme song of a show that's long been off the air.
A couple days ago, while browsing through Twitter for this whole Hartman debacle, I came across a tweet claiming that his short-lived cartoon Bunsen is a Beast! was an allegory for persecution of Christians.

Interestingly, I've heard that Hartman and MacFarlane are -- or were -- BBFs. (Indeed, they've worked together on several projects, including MacFarlane's Oh Yeah! Cartoons short "Zoomates" in the late 90's.) Supposedly they parted ways because of his distaste for Hartman's right-leaning ways. Again, that last tidbit was from Twitter, so don't take it as gospel.
He probably just thinks they shouldn’t exist.
Bullshit. Nobody besides fundies like religious cartoons. You can see why people aren't optimistic about them, even if some of them are decent.

I always wonder that about all the evangelists and televangelists out there all the time. And this seems no different than the
Correct, Dr. Hartman from Family Guy is actually named after him. If they had a falling out, I'm guessing that there was more to it than politics/religion. Brian the dog from Family Guy is routinely mocked for his overly smug atheist progressive attitude, so it's likely that he has at least some self awareness of how not to act like a preachy douchebag (though this might only be because the backlash for using Brian as a Mary Sue mouthpiece for his own opinions was too strong).
