I'm a Christian.
However the movie is obviously taking swipes at the neo conservatism that has appeared in the post 9/11 era,and attempting to cloak itself in Christianity.
Any Christian who seriously think all these recent wars were to 'protect our freedoms' is a moron.
Anyone of us that buys into the constant slandering Of Muslims and warmongering in the middle east is also drinking the koolaid.
The neocon 'Christians' are just butthurt that this movie just so happened to take shots at their perverted form of conservative Christianity.
I'm pretty sure V would have been opposed to any tyrannical regime.
If Britains government had turned radical leftist communist instead,he would have fought against it all the same -

As did the hateful British version of Rush Limbaugh
The chancellor was also a fake Christian,that displayed no traits of Christian love in his regime.But as long as the neo con talking heads tell some of the religious koolaid drinkers what they want to hear,they will follow right along. -

Exactly. The only Christianity that was portrayed in V was the most false and out-of-context type of Christianity, religion without any actual awareness of God's message. This movie was about totalitarians like the Party in 1984. Their use of fake religion was to accomplish their own agendas, not at all in accordance with Biblical truths of love and grace. I take no offense to this portrayal because it is full of hateful hypocrites.
Modern day example - if someone made a film that disparaged radical deep south "Christians" who currently support the KKK, I would not be offended because they don't represent me or my religious views. They're distorting the whole thing and making a mockery of Christianity. -

V: We are oft to blame in this, -
'Tis too much proved - that with devotion's visage
And pious action we do sugar o'er
The devil himself.
This quote is from Hamlet and, to me, it means that the most wicked acts can be, and are, committed under the cloak of public relgiosity.
The film is anti-fascist and if history has taught us anything it is that religion and fascism make for lustful and willing bedfellows. In the film's version of England it is Christianity being used as a tool of oppression. Note that Deitrich owned a Koran, knowing how dangerous it was for him to do so. I have no doubt that if this was set in a Muslim country then it certainly would have been the other way around, with a bible being a prized item for those that valued and longed for freedom. -

It's not wrong to hate. There are plenty of things on this planet worth hating. Take, for example, skinheads, corporate fascists, lobbyists, lima beans, cancer, malaria. Oh, and the greatest disease of all: Religion. A highly infectious mental disorder that turns beings of logic into babbling, beep-smeared retards who believe in whatever they want to be true, rather than whats substantiated through empirical evidence. And these same morons believe that their children will acquire autism if they get vaccinated. Silly rabbits, you've already given your children autism by taking them to church.

I'm a Christian. I didn't feel like this movie was telling me I'm stupid to not be an atheist.
I also think the church, and any religious institution should be criticized in areas where they are hypocritical or mean spirited. -

While I do love the movie it has an obviously anti-Christian political theme. When the movie first came out I didnt quite understand why the switch to a right-wing totalitarian Christian government oppressing Muslims and homosexuals from the novel's more generic pro-anarchy, anti-totalitarian theme.
Then I recently found out that Larry Wachowski had transitioned over to a trans-gendered woman and then of course the reason became obvious. This is the standard Hollywood left's vision of the ultra-dangerous Christian right and how they secretly plan for a totalitarian takeover and oppress the downtrodden homosexuals and Muslims. This is actually how they see the world even if it in no way represents reality. In fact I now laugh every time I see the scene where the homosexual Deitrich is talking about the moving poetry of the Quran and how he would be killed for owning one, when it is actually Islamic countries that are killing homosexuals and it is Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Iran where a Christian can be imprisoned or executed for proselytizing to a Muslim or a Muslim was found guilty of apostasy.
So the political themes in V the movie are actually quite humorous now as it turns reality on its head. I dont think they get that the joke's on the Wachowski's. The fundamentalist political Islamic awakening escalates year by year as western civilization is getting rolled back throughout the Islamic world. While in the west the left's Muslim victimization movement keeps on rolling but the persecution never appears - even after recent events like the Paris Friday the 13th attacks by ISIS.
