Fantasy casting is great fun. Well, as long as you're not doing it with people who say Angelina Jolie for everyone. I could go for Tennant as Crowley, but I am afraid that Stephen Fry is one of those people for whom both Crowley and Aziraphale claimed credit, whilst suspecting it was a cunning ploy of the other one.
I wouldn't have thought the sensible religious camp would mind at all - it's about apocalypse stories and human nature rather than Jesus, and insofar as he is in the text, God is on the side of the good guys* (though I did once read a very clever thesis that Adam is in fact not the Antichrist, but Christ himself). The idiots will complain, but then they always do.
