I liked it. I've been to most of the places in the film, so I got a very good feel for what it would be like to stand there in their shoes. Ron Howard did a great job with the movie - he rarely turns out crap.

Faith would have no bearing on my decision to see it or not, as I'm atheist. I find religious people and religion in general to be fascinating specimens.

As far as the plausibility of the plot, that's two-way. I like how the story portrayed Christ as a man and not a god. It makes much more sense that way, since the traditional stories are just ridiculous. Could it have happened? Well, that depends on the evidence. I'm not even convinced Christ existed outside of the imaginations of his followers, but if he did I'm sure he was a regular guy.

The secret society thing is the part I find to be most real. I don't doubt that would be possible - there are many secret societies dating back what seems like forever ago.

But you have to remember something: The Da Vinci Code is a FICTION novel. And far too many people take whatever they read that's set in a believable place and time to be true.

PS: Can an albino be an assassin? No. Their vision is pretty bad. Go watch The Albino Code. It's dumb, but cool.
