I got one of those forwarded e-mails that make the rounds on the internet about how this movie has an anti-religious message. Nobody can quite agree on whether it's specifically anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, anti-organized-religion, anti-God, or what. Snopes even confirms that the bias is not a rumor.The Golden Compass
I can't believe I forgot Sweeney Todd! That's probably number one on my list.

My wife was all set to take our daughter because of the cool previews and Burger King toys, but now she doesn't want to, although I wouldn't be opposed.
Does anyone else have any impressions on this?
I've heard this too and I personally don't care. One of my favorite poets is William Blake. He was anti-institutional religion, but I didn't care - his art still touched me.
I think the same is true of this film. Regardless of the creator's intentions, a person can still find the message that appeals to them. This means even if it's intended to be anti-Catholic/Chistian, I can still view it recognizing that the portrayal of the Church is inaccurate in my opinion.
What if the Empire in Star Wars was revealed to represent the Church? Would you quit watching it or would it take away from your movie going experience? I know it wouldn't do so to me, but I recognize everyone is different and needs to make their own decisions.
