Amazing line of thinking. "The novel offends certain religious groups
because they perceive anti-religious themes. Yet the novels fans like it
largely for that very reason. So...let's weaken the anti-religious themes
(but not remove them). That'll make everyone happy!!!"
This strategy alone could account for why it crashed and burned at the box
office.
Me, I like to see the gutless crash and burn.
