Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The film explicitly promotes progressive ideology by satirizing and dismantling traditional religious and patriarchal authority, championing individual liberation, and establishing a new, human-centric spiritual order led by a benevolent female deity.
The movie presents a narrative that strongly critiques traditional patriarchal figures, portraying God as an abusive white male antagonist whose authority is overthrown by his daughter and a diverse group of new apostles. While the main divine figures are white, the film features visible diversity among its supporting cast.
Secondary
The film features a gay apostle whose journey to find love is central to his arc. While God is depicted as homophobic, his daughter Ea actively works to counter this prejudice, allowing the character to achieve a happy and affirming same-sex relationship. The portrayal is ultimately positive, validating queer love and challenging bigotry.
The film features a transsexual character, François, whose journey of self-discovery and transition is portrayed with dignity and empathy. The narrative affirms her identity, showing her finding happiness and acceptance in her true self and relationships.
The film satirically portrays the traditional Abrahamic God as a cruel, petty, and abusive figure whose arbitrary rules cause human suffering. The narrative critiques institutionalized religion built on fear and dogma, advocating for a more compassionate and individualistic spirituality through the actions of God's daughter.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film reimagines biblical figures and concepts, but its main characters (God, Jesus) retain their traditionally established genders. New characters, such as God's daughter Ea and her new apostles, are original creations for the film's narrative, not gender-swapped versions of existing canonical figures.
The film features original characters created for its unique satirical narrative. While it reimagines religious figures, their race was not canonically established in source material, nor are they historical figures being adapted. No character with a previously established race is portrayed differently.
