I imagine we could have the same discussion about Zero Hour. I like the intricate plot and the mysterious characters and the emphasis on clues and puzzles, but it really bugs me that this is all centered around the idea that there is some power inherent in Christian icons that could save or destroy the world. I know it's just silly entertainment, and it's a silly objection, but it bugs me.
In spite of that, I kind of like it. It is appealing for the same reasons as the Da Vinci Code (a much more pleasing entertainment for atheists). I'm curious to see how it all turns out, although its cancellation may leave me with nothing but questions, which will be annoying.
