I'm glad I don't live in America(Or Jesusland as I affectionately call it)

Being too frightened to even look at something that is slightly different to what they want to believe shows why America is sneered at in the world today!!
The rest of the world follows the words of Aristotle - "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it".
Which sadly means America is seen in the words of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - "Nothing is worse than active ignorance".
What terribly weak faith they must have!!!

--Yes. Even though I'm not religious.
I don't consider anything surrounding Darwin controversial,
with the exception of the lies brought about by Creationists.

I would feel deep shame about it except that I strongly suspect this to be a publicity stunt. And it will work. If you want to insure the success of a form of art in America, ban it. They'll be showing it here in America to sold out houses.
Obedience is not highly admired here.

it's not actually the real reason it didn't initialy get a backer
The film young victoria which is of a similar genre didn't initially get a backer
This one does now and in fact there was a small bidding war in the end
