As an ex-catholic and now happy unbeliever/humanist I suggest you read few recent bestsellers on a subject of evolution/religions before you embark on your journey of making movie/book. You do not want it to be a complete dud, do you?
Religions/beliefs were always men made. There are thousands upon thousands of gods/goddesses who are not even a memory any more. Their temples in rubble and their holy scriptures and books just items in museums or forgotten in some other places.
The authors I would suggest for you to pick and choose from are Richard Dawkins (a must read!), Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Christopher Hitchens.But there are hundreds others equaly interesting.
To help you with writing some scripts please feel free to ponder on this small collection of famous sayings/quotes of our greatest free thinkers of past times. Whatever you do, please do not push the creationist rubbish into our society. We do not need more ignorance but less.
It is very hard to educate young minds with their parents stuffing all sorts of nonsense into their developing brain cells all day long when they are at home. Let us know when your masterpiece is ready to be viewed.
