Wait, wait, wait. Dogma is an atheist film? Or does that have to do something with the title?

Having just read about it on Wikipedia, I'd say Dogma could be interpreted as an athiest film... or at the very least an anti-catholic one.

But contrary to what Hollywood tells you, religion isn't all catholic. Besides, Dogma could never be interpreted as an atheist film, since it only targets fundamentalism and dogma. An atheist film would explicitly state that there is no God and all religions are inherently evil. At least that would be the message. With Dogma, this is obviously not the case.

Like I said, I'm only basing my comments on reading wikipedia... not watching the film!

I talked with one of my friends who's in the student group Campus Athiests and Secular Humanists, and those were the three athiest-ish movies she came up with. Keep in mind also that Gwendolyn is trying to manipulate Tessa, so the stuff she says may not be 100% accurate/ :)
