I heard about this, I think there is a movie Facin the Giants coming out about a Christian football coach. The producers expected it to be rated G, but the MPAA rated it PG for religious purposes. I do not think this is right. Our country was founded on the Bible and I think people these days should know more about it.

Well since every movie in Hollywood have to follow the same guidelines what makes you think that religious movies has a exception.
The MPAA is the law and all movie makers know this law even the foreign movie makers....All rules are rules and they have to adjust to those rules if they want there movie to be seen by the public.
Look I am a Christian woman and of course I don't think that it is right but lets look at it this way, you have so many people in this world that don't believe in anything and even as much to say they don't believe that it ever exist but when movies are made especially movies that deal with religious overtones we have to give respect to all those who don't see things the way the director does or any one else in that matter.
I hope that I cleared that up for you and I hope that I gave you a really good answer to your question.

I don't see why not, although I'd say it's a matter of factual content. Any portrayal of "christians good, everyone else bad" is laughable and obscene, but a film like "The Boys Of St. Vincent" (a dramatization of pedophile priests in Canada) is alright.
I long ago got sick of Nicolas Cage movies with all the "god wins" crap in them, but the worst example of religion in movies was the piece of garbage released under the name "I, Robot". It has nothing to do with the book and Asimov (an ardent atheist) would have been horrified. (I am so glad I didn't have to pay to watch that load of bull-George Bush.)
More important though is knowing who is in the films and what their religion is. If you watch a Travolta or Cruise movie, some of the money you pay goes to the scientology cult, or part of every hamburger you buy at Wendy's goes to gay-hating christian groups. Do you really want your money used for such purposes?

No. People may take offense to religion, but religion in and of itself is not offensive material. And I seriously doubt it will be sweeping in nature. Buddhism and Eastern religions (with possible exception of Islam) would likely be exempted.
