|This Scientologist propaganda piece failed at the box-office and is largely considered to be one of the worst movies ever made. It "won" in nine categories at the Golden Raspberry Awards (aka, the Razzie Awards), making it the most awarded film at the Razzies until ''Jack and Jill'' took that spot. Furthermore, it won separate awards for "Worst Drama of our first 25 Years" during the 2005 awards, as well as "Worst Picture of the Decade" in 2010. Lastly, the film plays into the liberal notion of personal characteristics mattering more than true merits since John Travolta was cast as the main character because of his affiliation with the "church" of Scientology.

|Written by atheists Trey Parker and Matt Stone as "an atheist's love letter to religion", this musical insults every aspect of the Mormon religion. There are several Biblical inaccuracies, which reflects the writers' insane, misguided belief that Christians will believe anything word-for-word if it's written in the Bible. In one song, some tribal Ugandans swear against God in their native language.

|Written by atheists Trey Parker and Matt Stone as what they sarcastically call "an atheist's love letter to religion", this musical insults every aspect of the Mormon religion as two of the church's elders embark on a mission to Africa. There are several Biblical inaccuracies, which reflects the writers' insane, misguided belief that Christians will believe anything word-for-word if it's written in the Bible. In one song, a group of tribal Ugandans swears against God in the Ugandan language.

|The characters are supposed to be Christians (or "saints" as the title suggests), but they show themselves as anything but. They dispense their own form of vigilante justice (summary execution) and say the F-word in every sentence. There's also an FBI agent who chases them who is hinted throughout the film to be [[homosexual]]. Overall, the film is just a vulgar ''[[Death Wish]]'' rip-off.
