E.T. is an obvious choice - I think it heralded the science-belief theme evident in subsequent SF films like Contact. For technology/humanism (not sure if that comes into religion or magic at all), Robocop and Terminator make an interesting complement. The first sees a cyborg stripped of its mechanical exterior to reveal the human inside; the second features a robot stripped of its human exterior to reveal the mechanical skeleton. Both examine the theme of 'the ghost in the machine' - which I guess is very relevant to the science/religion theme.
