Without getting into the debate about Americans and beliefs, I found this article about the TRUE reason that distributors aren't picking up the movie quite telling:

But maybe the movie's just not that good? And a money loser to boot? For instance! Hardly anyone liked Creation when it screened last week in Toronto. (Sample quote: "Flat, dull, and painful to sit through.") ... More to the point, the article in the Daily Mail doesn't cite any actual instances of actual distributors shying away from the movie because of fears of Christian protest. It just quotes a guy with a vested interest in raising a little controversy around his movie. (We asked the film's publicists if the producers could provide any evidence to back up the claim and were told, "They remain optimistic that they will get U.S. distribution and are working hard to make that happen.")
