This is no joke - sadly it is true. The makers of this soon-to-be released movie
Facing the Giants found out that too much religion and too much talk of Godliness now requires a PG ratings from the MPAA board. In other words, the worldly Motion Pictures Association of America would not want any parent of small children to be offended by the truly sincere expression of religious faith.
Cool Cat Teacher.blogspot has some personal insight into the makers of the film and the Christian school where it all takes place.
The author/directors/star, brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick, expected a PG rating because of the football scenes and a frank discussion of teen pregnancy, but instead, it was handed down for religious content. This made the news, but they haven't fought the rating, although many outspoken people have.
