The big example that opened my eyes to it was (old as shit) the Silent Hill movie.
In the games, the Order church is a demon cult that worships a female solar deity (who in all jappy jap likelihood is amaterasu). It's specifically not christianity or a heresy thereof in the backstory (being rooted out at one time by christians). They clearly have multiple deities, and their trappings are occult in all manner. Their aim is to cause the supernatural birth of their deity through the girl alessa. They're simply dirty dumb evil satanists.
In the US film, the order cult is given far more christian trappings and a focus on mortifying sin and are made to seem like over the top fundamentalists who accidentally caused the current situation trying to mortify the "sins" of the girl alessa. They're a scandalous parody of fundamentalist christianity with some catholic flavourings for taste.

Oh yeah. This guy gets it.
Really kinda illustrates why you see "good despite being christian" characters alot. That is "good" relative to modernism "despite" being christians.
Kingdom of Heaven is an archetype of this, which through bad history, makes all of the "good guy" christians into modernists who are good despite their christianity, and all of the "bad guy" christians bad because of their christianity.
Consider that our lead, Balian of Ibelin, in this film is depicted as a doubting fornicator who's grand work is technology and running his fief in tolerance. "good despite". He is a modernist who just happens to be a cultural christian.
Saladin himself, contra to history, is depicted in a like fashion, being not simply "good despite", but good in opposition to the christian culture.
The bad history, though, allows us to cast Guy de Lusignan and Raynald De Chatillon as bloodthirsty zealots (with raynald being executed for a lack of courtesy, not, as is historical fact, for refusing to convert to islam), wholly ignoring the actual internal political situation in the crusader states at that time in history.
The utmost expression of "it's better to be good despite vs being bad because" though comes from the mouth of the bishop of jerusalem towards the end of the film, when he suggests converting to islam in order to survive and then repenting later. A classic anti-clerical attack against the "really real" believers of the church, who to the modernist are all nothing but corrupt cowards.
Sorry these are all old examples. I don't like modern media, so I don't know it well. If you need modern examples, simply turn on the radio. All music today is about fornication, relationships as a personal pleasure, not love, and engaging in debauchery such as drunkenness, lasciviousness, and excess.
