The phrase "It's just a movie" is lost on religious people.
It reminds me of the fuss they made over Harry Potter "promoting witchcraft". The author is an atheist who doesn't believe in magic. It's not promoting anything. It's a book.
I loved the Blues Brothers but seeing it doesn't convince me that Catholicism is the Truth.
In fairness, some atheists also get bent out of shape over some works of fiction. A few YouTube atheists railed about Avatar, how it promotes mysticism and how the skeptics turned out to be wrong in the story. Dude, it's a movie. The skeptics are always wrong in the movies. There's always a ghost in the haunted house or a magical book or a secret elaborate government conspiracy or a dimensional gateway or an alien spacecraft or etc.
