It is, in fact, the new way of spreading Christianity. They don't feel that generosity and living well by example are a good method (plus, they're really hard), so they choose the easier path of loudly condemning everything that is not "righteous" enough for them.
Remember: if you can't climb higher, you can always try to knock other people down

This means that the Gospels (and the Bible in general) are bad for children, I imagine. Or does that only apply to the movie and not the books?
Does this mean that novelizations of other movies that are bad for kids are OK?

Well, let's just hope they don't even touch Scarface or Face/Off. *sigh*

They would have a heart attack at either film. Scarface is filled with violence and foul language while Face/Off is filled with violence, foul language, and a gunfight that takes place in a church.

Either they have read the EU books or they didn't pay attention to ROTJ.
They didn't notice any murders... I think Palpatine might disagree on that one.
There's apparently some verse that says murder isn't murder if it's part of a war. So they put war deaths under wanton violence instead.
Well the Bible is pretty explicity that any murder that was comanded by Israel's religious leaders isn't murder.

Well, we're all human. They just pray extra hard after they finish...educating themselves on the subject.
I think it's a hoax. They mispell "aleins" twice on the same page.

Ed Meese still holds some sort of record (I think) for viewing more pornography than any other person in history.
