Around the world many people follow religions and i guess its where you are from and what kind of situation you have been brought up in determines what religion you will or won't follow.
In my case i ain't religious but i have got a problem with anyone who is. I went to a church school but i didn't go to church. There are some people who can be a bit over the top with being religious like the men who go around Wolverhampton shouting out verses from the bible.
In film there is a difference in how religion is shown. From 1920 - 1970 ther
e have been many epic bible stories like King of Kings (1961) which is about Jesus' life, The Ten Commandments (1956) which is about Moses and The Greatest Story Ever Told is a (1965) which again is about Jesus' life. All of these where very big budget films which follows the basic story. More recently The Passion of the Christ is a (2004) is a very graphic portrayal 
of the death and Resurrection of Jesus. This film was very detailed in the telling of the story but was very controversial. The Life of Brian (1979) by Monty Python is a film which has lots of content from the bible but is a comedy. This too was very controversial because of the content.
The film Matrix Reloaded (2003) was banned in Egypt no only because of the violence in it but also because of the religious content. When i watched this film i didn't even notice anything to do with religion so i guess this is taking religion a bit too far. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/2980432.stm Link to BBC news page about this story.

Being religious does not mean being too religious. Being too religious is when you try to change someones religious views by force. Spouting bible verses hardle qualifies. Thats their perogative. You have a choice to listen. Too religious is when your religious views hurt someone else.
