Correct. Christians can make good films, too, just not when spreading an overtly Christian message. It's like Christianity sucks the creativity out of everything.

Yes, stereotypical characters suck, but the stereotypical atheist is one that is particularly painful and frustrating. They're always angry, use extremely fallacious arguments, never know anything about religion and they act and speak, not as an atheist, but as someone who believes god exists and is angry at them. Imagine how you would feel if I were to write a Christian character that was only capable of saying, "Derp."
