I'm not really sure what they could have kept of the good parts. You can write stuff based on ancient myths and not have a controversy, but if you try to write something based on contemporary religions your audience is familiar with, and your audience doesn't consist solely of believers in that religion, a controversy will magically appear no matter how you try to spin it. Everything really interesting in The Snow Queen relates back to Christianity, and Disney is neither the type of company that courts controversy nor the type of company that would make a movie solely marketed to Christians. Anything they make that's Christian-derived is at the very least toned way the hell down*, and I think that's the right move for them.

* They were able to make The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but there's surprisingly less explicit religion in their version than you'd expect. The closest it really comes is Frollo's villain song--for the rest of it, Christianity is just a backdrop, its morals and ideas stated in vague, general ways that would fit a variety of faiths.

my memory is a bit fuzzy, but i don't remember the Russian version of the Snow Queen being that big on Christianity either (i remember reading the tale after watching the animated adaptation and being caught off guard by the Christianity aspect), and it was a pretty good adaptation

i had been hoping the Disney version would follow that lead

Yes, it's not really based on Christianity in many versions.

All they would have to change is having a troll instead of the devil and take out the part where she prays. Other adaptions can and have done this easily and still kept what made the story unique.

[(Anonymous)]

Not really. Plenty of adaptations have excluded the religious themes. And it's not like Disney hasn't used the devil as a plot device-- that crappy Haunted Mansion movie ended with someone being dragged to hell.

What about Narnia? Everyone fucking loves that shit, despite its very obvious religious overtones.
