For the record, I don't think Eastwood is very religious, if at all. Off the top of my head, I can think of two films he directed(Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino) in which religion is revealed as useless, and one(Mystic River) where the script goes out of its way to portray a sadistic pedophile as a Catholic priest, even though it's not important to the plot.
I could probably also have put Herafter on the first list, because, while it does promote the idea of an afterlife, it also portrays organized religion as utterly useless in getting us there.
