I'm not a christian and I think I need to share my view as an outsider looking in and say " This movie could have been about Scientology for all I care " because the plot was about belief not religion.
Now, as far as comedies go this movie is a lot funnier than I expected and it cracked me up more than a couple of time with tone ranging from really dark to really ridiculous which I think is pretty impressive given the nature of the plot.
Further more I thought the acting, directing and production to be more than decent and did a pretty good job representing the dangers of blind belief as well as Faiths strong, graceful and forgiving nature.
In Conclusion, I think this movie is hated for all the wrong reasons, and while I don't think it is perfect, if you are looking for a funny movie about a complicated topic, you should definitely give this one a watch.
