Everything about Jesus Christ Superstar. It seemed blasphemous to call Jesus a "superstar", as if he were no more important to the world then some flash in the pan celebrity.

Everything about Jesus Christ Superstar is evil, not the least of which is calling Jesus Christ a "superstar."  

The libretto of the rock opera was consistent was the view that Jesus did not have to die and that Jesus was not God Himself, two ideas which have been bedrock Christian theology since c. 400 A.D.

The film mixes ancient and modern images. The romans are shown wearing german-like helmets and machine guns - again, from the point of view of Judas, they correspond to a "universal oppressor".
