There was no widespread "flying is evil! down with planes!" movement in the early 1900s... but by then, humans had been flying for more than 100 years.

The airplane had to have shown up in a few sermons in the first decades of the 20th century, but was generally treated more like a novelty - not so many hymns as funny songs like "Come Josephine in my Flying Machine".

Perhaps it helped that the Wright Brothers' father was bishop in the United Brethren....
