You may want that to happen, but it won't, simply because the MPAA isn't a religious organization.
While it sounds like a nice idea, it would be a nightmare to try to define, because while all of us know the obvious examples (i.e. God's name being added to a common curse word, etc), the problem, as it is in labeling anything of this nature, would be in stuff that was blasphemy to one viewer but not to another.
The reason why official ratings are based on things like violence, language, sex, and drug use are that all of those are easily and objectively noted as such. By that, I mean that it's pretty difficult to find an example of violence that could be seen as nonviolent by an objective reviewer. It is fairly easy, however, to find a given example (aside from directly cursing off God) that one person sees as "blasphemy" or "anti-Christian" and have one other person, even a Christian who goes to the same church and lives in the same town, see it as satire, as justified, or otherwise somehow legitimate.
