Sounds like they actually have good messages all around even if one is not religious but then play up the religious stuff. It's actually a good business model since they have pretty low budgets but the fundies eat them right up so they pay back exponentially. This one grossed about $32 million in theaters which isn't a whole lot but only cost $2 million to produce, plus you know the DVDs will sell well because many churches will want to have showings...personally as a Christian I've always found Pulp Fiction more of a Christian movie.
