Rational skeptics don't need their own films for that purpose, we're well-informed enough about this shit and don't need to be convinced that we're on the business end of the theists' sword. But given we can put more thought, creativity and style into even lower-budget things because we have more reason to care and more desire to convey a message clearly and consistently, surely an effort could be made if only experimentally.

*Sigh* Yeah...that's the Catch-22 about faith.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
