10 Movies That Make You Think Hard About Religion (MovieWeb)

"Religion is often a main subject in film. Sometimes, the story likes to explore different themes found in religion. There might be a study of contrasts, such as in different religions or different denominations. Other times, a story could look at a religion's history in different cultures or at the conflicts certain religious people face. Some more experimental films also like to ask questions about what humanity's place in the world really is. There are also many films that adapt the stories that make up a big part of various religions. Some are direct adaptations, with a few liberties with artistic license here and there. Others reinvent such stories in different ways, such as by seeing how these stories would play out in a modern setting. Sometimes, quotes from religious texts will be peppered throughout the script. All in all, these films encourage viewers to ask their own 'big questions' about life." - movieweb.com
