It sounds like the film is still pro-religion in the end, odd that it is receiving such backlash.
Places like Egypt and other middle eastern countries definitely need their Richard Dawkins moment (even though I don’t think he’s a great person), but I don’t think this is it.
I’m also not a fan of Dawkins, but The God Delusion was a turning point for a huge number of people and it has been translated into Arabic. Dawkins used to give Arabic editions away for free, but I don’t know if he still does. Regardless, it can be found online, where it’s probably safer to read-
It also doesn’t help that one of Egypt’s most prominent atheists, Sherif Gaber, decided to use the risk to his life both physically and legally as a way to make money. He kept asking for more and more money so he could escape Egypt, then he stayed anyway and now he’s about to be imprisoned.
