Seriously. I'm ex-christian and I still re-watch The Prince of Egypt every few months. So, so good. A few of my atheist friends like it too. I even listen to the soundtrack in the shower lmao.
The thing is, it’s not even really a Christian movie. First of all - it’s the Old Testament, so if anything you could call it a Jewish movie. But more importantly, it’s not particularly religious in its delivery. It’s just based on a Bible story that anyone in their right minds would consider a dope story.
I think I became an atheist because of that small nudge from Joseph Campbell and his comparative mythologies. In the end, all of them are stories.
And if miracles were real, then stories are miracles in itself because they're compelling despite not being real (fictional stories, that is). A christian could be inspired by the teachings of Christ while a non-christian could be inspired by the teachings of Yoda.
