The church had a grudge against the Gnostics.
Gnostic belief pre dates what we know as Christianity.
The Gnostics believe God is evil. The God that made the material world that is.
Gnostics believe that once we realise the 'truth' (that our souls/spirits are trapped here on earth) then we will be free.
Gnostics see the earth as a kind of Matrix...the film was based on Gnostic belief.
