Stop censoring closed captioning

If I'm watching a rated R movie on Xfinity, I'm inherently saying I am of a valid age to watch this restricted content.  However, I noticed that the closed captioning censors these and other movies that either use explicit language or references that a religious person would consider "blasphemous".  I am an over-18 year old atheist adult.  If I want to read profanity or see insults or mockery to religion, then Xfinity/Comcast should allow the captioning to match the content of the movie that is being displayed on their airways.  OR, are they saying that disabled adults need special protection from "dirty words" or "anti-religious" messaging?  This is an ADA violation... hearing disabled adults should not be coddled by Xfinity/Comcast.

If the actor says it, the closed captioning should reflect it in its entirety.  I can hear, and it is annoying to notice that the dialogue and the captioning are not the same, and it is practically always around profanity or "blasphemous" language which are just plain words to those who don't believe in those faiths.
