I haven't seen the movie, but for those who have, and who don't see the anti-religious themes, that is because it has been taken out substantially. The backlash that is being heard from the Religious folk is because the books are unabashadly atheistic.
It is their concern that a movie marketed largely to children will influence many of those kids to read these books. I understand their irritation and applaud their speaking out. Surely everyone, of every age should be introduced to all sorts of philosophies, however this is a very back-handed way of doing so.
The difference between this, and "Passion" is that, to my knowledge, "Passion" was not marketed towards children.
