BTTT!!!! You hit the nail on the head! Milking the Bible for plots, spot on! Yes, they are too cowardly to do the same to islam, although I am glad they don’t because no more attention needs to be brought up of that cult.

I don't think it's a bad thing that movies like Noah and Exodus are being made. Plenty of people go to the movies and become curious about the story behind the story. Even if 1% of the audience does this, that's 500K people who might become curious about the Christian faith.

In principle, it's not at all a bad thing that movies with Biblical themes are being made. But when movies run in the direction of "serious parody of the Bible", that's where I object. Those 500K people who are fed a poisoned, easier-to-swallow version of the Bible could well be "inoculated" against the real Bible... which is a bad thing.

Remember the principle of immunology: the way to immunize oneself safely against something is to expose oneself to an attenuated (weakened, watered-down) or dead version of that "something". I see that happening, here.
