Perhaps the best that we could hope for from this film is that some kid with rigid theocratic parents will see it at a friends house and start to wonder and question what he or she is being told and go out and figure some stuff out for themselves.

Or even a reflection of those changing perceptions, since media is usually a result of what's going on rather than trying to change it isn't it?
As mykalberta points out, someone who's deep into religion isn't likely going to change, at least not with this kind of thing (since they're already conditioned to believe based only on what an authority tells them rather than through evidence and such).
Though it's not impossible, I know many people who've come out of religion. But it usually isn't something like Religulous that does it.
