There's so much religious subtext in The Chronicles of Narnia, that I don't think you could inject any more without making religious sentiment actually textual rather than subtextual.
People who fiercely embrace an atheistic and/or secularist worldview who don't want a "religious" Narnia ought to just stay away from the story, period, I think.
Yeah, it's the difficulty of trying to swallow the whole Narnia enterprise. That said, there are ways to cut back on the subtext. I think a lot of the groan factor will depend on how it's handled by the director. It still doesn't stop me from thinking that the film looks bright, plastic, and involves lots of talking animals.
Films should work beyond a religious subtext. At least allegorical films.
