Films on that topic are atheist-friendly in that way. Atheists tend to like them. It doesn't mean that atheism is anything more than an absence of belief. It just means that certain types of people with certain qualities tend to lack that belief. Pro-reason is not anti-religious per se; it simply threatens religion because religion doesn't stand to reason.
I would agree with that. Though from what FM has said, it seems the movies he's referring to are actively in opposition to religion or paint religious folks in a negative light, which seems like it would make them anti theist verses just merely atheist friendly.
I've seen a lot of those movies. Most of them are historical or documentaries. James Randi tends to have undertones religious people hate because he exposes spiritual/supernatural fraud very skillfully. I don't recall the docu I saw about him really touching on religion much. Agora was a film about a female scholar murdered by early Christians. If it's anti-Christian, it's because Christians did a shitty thing. It's a really good film.
