8. This is a tough call.
I usually extend an exemption for works of art. Could you show a movie version of The Iliad? That's religion too. Can you sing "God Bless America"? Written by an atheist Jew? Or "Battle Hymn of the Republic?"

As a movie, like most, it's a fantasy. It shows imaginary characters doing make believe things. I guess it comes down to context. "Hey kids! You want to see a stupid movie? Yay!
