People like explosions and shit. For every Passion of the Christ's there will be 10 Pulp Fictions.

I suspect an uncomfortably large portion of the viewership of Passion were horror fans getting off on viewing the flagellation and torture and whatnot who had no interest in Christianity, so it's not like there's this vast gulf between the two films.

Lack of comprehension on the part of some viewers does not erase the gulf between the art of the one film (Passion) and the sensationalism (Pulp) of the other.

I agree. Like anybody who saw it more than once.
