Namely, the Doctor Who series.

According to Church Army spokesman Andrew Wooding, "There are countless examples of Christian symbolism in Doctor Who, which we can use to get across ideas that can otherwise be difficult to explain."

Rather interesting, considering the chief writer of the current series, Russell T. Davies, is an atheist. "I think religion is a very primal instinct within humans," he said, "a very good one, part of our imagination."
Unfortunately, the church fails to realize that storytelling hasn't changed in basic structure in over 2000 years. "The Hero's Journey", a common platform for legends, can be found not only in the Bible but in morality plays, Beowulf, The Wizard of Oz, The Matrix, folklore, and even religious stories from ancient Rome and Egypt. The plot predates the Bible and traces its origins to early man.
