I must say I'm not really sure if our world would be a more peaceful, less sexist place if people worshipped a female deity instead of a male one, since many ancient cultures, despite having several important goddesses in their respective pantheons, were quite belligerent and patriarchal. (Case in point: The Ancient Greeks)
That said, I think this is a pretty solid film, both entertaining and pretty clever on its satire of Abrahamic religions, giving the book of Exodus a similar treatment Paley gave it to the Ramayana in Sita Sings the Blues, with a fun use of modern songs instead of dialogue, alternating the ancient tale with a more personal experience (In this case, a conversation the filmmaker had with her father)
For me, the most memorable, poignant moment of the whole movie was the brief live-action sequence showing a bunch of religious fanatics destroying old statues in a museum, which managed to deliver the point of the movie in a rather blunt manner.
