1* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
2** The atheists all pile out of one car, are defeated by Jesus, and then are never seen again.
3** And the WholesomeCrossdresser.
4* CriticalDissonance: On Rotten Tomatoes, the critic score is 80%, while the audience score is 59%. Additonally, on iMDB the score is a much lower, only 4.9.
5* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
6** When Jesus whups the first bunch of Clown Car Atheists, one of the women exclaims the line: "I don't believe it!!"
7** Jesus: "If I'm not back in five minutes, call the Pope."
8** Jesus dropping the woman he was baptizing in the lake.
9** One vampire asking in the most possible serious way: [[ItMakesSenseInContext "Where have all our lesbians gone?"]]
10* GeniusBonus: In addition to the several Biblical references and quotes throughout the film, Jesus' final monologue paraphrases the Christian treatise known as the Didache: "If you can bear the whole yoke of the Lord, you'll be perfect. But if you can't, then do what you can."
11* PeripheryDemographic: A lot of atheists love this movie, especially the [[HollywoodAtheist hilariously inaccurate portrayal of atheism]] in the film, for sheer comedy value, [[SarcasmMode as opposed to its nuanced and thoughtful view of Catholicism]]. Also, many atheists absolutely LOVE Jesus/Religion humor (it's easier laughing at things you don't consider SeriousBusiness, after all).
12* SoBadItsGood: Given the premise, it was probably aiming for this.
13* SpecialEffectFailure: Possibly intentional, as the entire movie is rather silly.
