Oooh. Time for me to be the devil's advocate. Because I'm an asshat at times. But a cute asshat.
What if they really meant it? What if, like thanking friends and family and pets, they want to thank their deity? It's possible that the others were okay with it. Bad analogy time: If one of my co-filmers' pet pekinese piddled on my leg, but the co-filmer really cares for the dog, should I raise an ire and demand that 'Precious' be stripped from the credits?
Do we have examples of the FSM in the credits, or more importantly, censored from the credits? Is there any study on the ratings of films and the religions of those involved? Is there a survey on the students, to see their views on the end credits? Do we know which god it is? Perhaps they're jewish. Or hindu.
I understand the anger directed at this, but I want to caution against, in reviling the fanatics, we ourselves become their reflection. Especially with the slippery slopes of straw men and universal judgments.
