I find it nearly impossible to believe that the producer believes in this vast conspiracy while, at the same time believing that Christianity cannot possibly be true.

Christianity is a mythology; it's a set of symbols. Symbols can only be true in a metaphorical sense. Symbols cannot be true in a factual sense; it is not their purpose. The Bible is not a science book. It does not try to describe reality and its workings.

Second point: you call it a conspiracy, however you should realize that these things do not need to be conspired. They can also evolve. It's usually the people who are involved in them who are the most clueless about what's going on.

If you have a religion that lots of people believe, why would you purposefully fulfill the prophecies in the book and make yourself out to be in league with the Satan that you have everybody believing in?

Can you be more specific?

Zeitgeist's big claim on Christianity is that it is a control structure. Why, then, would the controllers destroy their mythological control structure as Zeitgeist seems to implicate. If the beginning and the end of the film are more or less accurate, why would the controllers destroy there own myth?

It certainly can't be out of their kindness and desire to give up their controlling myth because a lot of people will die fighting against the one-world government, the chip, and other such "prophecies" In other words, they would be choosing a path that would:

1) Result in a lot of deaths caused by fervant the fervant religious belief that one-world government, chip implants, etc. are Satanic. People fighting the government and the rich will think they are doing God's work and fighting Satan.
2) Prove that Christianity is a myth (because all of the prophecies get fulfilled, more or less, and Christ does not return)
3) Make the elites look as if, (in the near term, that is, until the "myth" is busted), they are truly evil and make them targets of radical extremists.

This is a great way to turn your societal control structure into your worst enemy.

That is why it defies even atheistic logic that the first part and the last part could be reasonably true.
