The only source we have for the idea that it was religious content and only religious content that resulted in the PG rating is the statement of the filmmaker.
The impression I get is that the film is getting a very nice initial release--400 theaters--due to it's religious content. Hell, Transamerica didn't even get that many theaters until months into its run after the theaters it was playing in in limited release kept making huge per-screen profits.
If anything, I'd say it's more likely getting a pass because of its content than being punished.
