Personally, I was never all that interested in seeing the book filmed in the first place.
Dan Brown's novels are in the same vein as those of Jack Whyte's Camulod Chronicles, Both authors use formulaic narratives and story structures to show what they really want to show, all of the nifty information they've dug up. The plots of these stories end up as they should: pointless, drab canvasses upon which each author can paint how brilliant they are and what their extensive research has produced.
Even if the religious leanings in The Da Vinci Code were left in the script, chances are, the movie would still come out as a middle-of-the-road, ho-hum thriller, that's not all that good to begin with.
