How come christians who are against Harry Potter won't treat these books and movies like any other work of fiction? Star Trek has never mentioned anything christian before, and we don't see them protest against it.
At the end of the episode about a civilization like the Roman Empire in the original series, the usual suspects (Kirk, Spock, and Bones) are wondering why a parallel to Rome had 'Sun' worshipers. Uhuru said she had been monitoring the planet's broadcasts and they meant not the sun but rather the son of god.
Seems to be a bit of Christian imagery to me, but I am having trouble following your point to begin with anyway.
More on topic, book challenges to school library holdings are made several hundred times a year. For more information, and a bit of fun (and seriousness) us librarians have at the yokel's expense, see ALAs Banned Book Week page
