I've not seen it but I wonder if Christian support for it is due to it making them feel good about their chosen faith or if it's because it strips away what Christianity has become (in the US in particular) and challenges those that profess to follow the faith to return to the ideal that it once represented? Jesus as represented in the US seems more like an authoritarian, gun toting, intolerant, white washed perversion of the brown skinned, middle eastern opponent of oppression and intolerance that I always imagined him to be.
