I am not sure about censorship.
the German text says the producer does not allow the film to be shown here.

Yeah, that's pretty much my definition of censorship, to tell you what you cannot hear.

there are different ways

i use it for all religions that center on Jesus Christ

It's definitely open to interpretation and it's about the individual, not the religion. We know that Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23 that some believers will be sent to the Lake of Fire. They are obviously NOT "Christians", according to Jesus himself. In my OPINION a "Christian" is one that not only believes in Jesus but repents from sin and makes a concerted effort to obey God's laws, especially the commandments to love one another.

John 14:21
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
 
In my view - admittedly on the Conservative side - a "Christian" denomination is one that basically accepts the theology contained in the Nicene Creed.

Accepting any religion that claims to follow JC includes Mormons, which is manifestly not a Christian religion in any meaningful way. They mock the most basic tenets of Christianity. They believe, for example, that good Mormons can become GODS in the afterlife if they lead a good life.
interesting point!

i have made a poll about the LSD as well.
 
all WASPs are Christians, by definition.

maybe that leads some to the opinion, that only WASPs are really Christians in the US?
