I too pray for a spiritual awakening in our country. If this movie motivates Christians(the majority of the audiences) to begin to become Christians, then it may have an impact. True Christians will have an impact on those around them and ultimately their society, because the love of God lives in them and works through them.
This movie may be as you have said, 'a spark'. We can all appreciate a spark, especially during such dark days. Large fires can be started from small sparks, when all the proper elements are in place. Fire from God can be started (by God) when apparently the conditions are all wrong (see Elijah).
Our challenge as Christians is to die to ourselves so that Christ may live. Our lives, in all things, should be praising and exalting God. As His disciples we should most concerned about helping others become disciples by living 'disciplined' lives. Not lives disciplined through fear, but through an obedience born by and sustained through an eternal and holy love.
So whether this movie provides the "spark" or God himself provides a holy fire, I agree with your sincere desire to see the hearts of our nation once more filled with the passion of Jesus Christ. May it come to pass quickly and may all receive it!
If there is a heightening in religious consciousness, particularly amongst Catholics, how will they feel about voting for a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual 'Catholic?'
