Ahem. Why are fantasy movies like "Eragon" and "In the Name of the King" being considered "Heathen"?

Elementally, they are heathen. Maybe I should have subcategorized.

Would the Wicker Man be classified as Heathen or not?

Elementally? By which element do you call those films as heathen?
A script and some characters placed in a fantasy world is not a prerequisite for identifying a film as "heathen". A fantasy story, yes but it barely has any resemblance with our heathen heritage.
