As Shaw says in the film when Holloway points out that the engineers created humans and Shaw can now stop wearing her crucifix, "who created them?" I don't think it's a cheesy religious flick at all. I just think it deals in the currency of imagery and ideas related to faith versus empiricism in much the same way that Alien deals in the consciousness "human versus other"...

There is no way to get around the fact that the scientists who lacked faith quickly were killed off in a way that would never be characterized by "opposition to evil" by anyone who has seen the film.
