Rimbaud has just left Hobbiton.
Yah, I'm with Zoe Williams on this one, lal. Those who take the 'Toynbee' route, with their atheistic drum-banging are as bad as some of those whom they decry. I'm faithless myself, but was more than capable of enjoying the books without being overtly sermonised, and surely will be similarly able to view the movies as good ol' capitalistic hubris.

Furthermore, as was mentioned in the same article you reference, other than the resurrection malarkey in LWW, the majority of people wouldn't feel overwhelmed by Christian imagery, as there are fewer people with a working knowledge of Biblical imagery in the audience (another result of Britain's increased secularism).
