I thought that the "positive religious character" in the movie was insufferable but we're supposed to like him, and the agnostic scientist is in love with him. There are a bunch of cardboard Evil Religious People and cardboard Bad Military People, but the unlikable, selfish scientist character panders to the religious people. We don't get any jerk-ass atheists. So I guess there's something there to be offended by, but I bet there were more New Atheists-types (although that term wouldn't appear for a few more years) who found it odious than religious people.
