It wasn't banned anywhere that I know of, no real religious leaders came out to condemn it because I don't think anyone took it seriously. Great list though, I love film makers who make movies just to anger religious groups, as if these thousand year old groups don't have bigger fish to fry.

I thought that was a great movie and it offended pretty much every religion there is :) It offends the very basis of religion itself. Nice review but what about Bill Maher’s Religulous?

In it, Matt Damon had this to say about the Vodoun religion: <i>"Do you know much about voodoo? Fascinating practice, very close to Satanism, but not really much of a religion - no doctrine of faith. Just an arrangements of superstitions, the most well-known of which is the voodoo doll."</i> The practice of the so-called "voodoo doll" originated in Europe. And it was called a poppet.
