One of the problems with religion is that it has been taken over by folks that are steeped in the 50s and 60s. It is nolonger the place to be on Sunday morning. All of the talent in this country tends to be in the Hollywood set. Being cool means being like some drunk chick that can act, sing, or dance. Excess is encouraged.
Most of the people that make our movies wouldn't even consider making a movie about religion. The last smashing success was "The Passion of the Christ" which was a masterpiece but a horrid display of cruelty and was widely panned by the left.
Ironic that Lindsay Lohan and Jim Caveziel (the people you're referring to above) are both republicans. Well done. Not only are you weak, you don't know what you're taking about.
