Any other good ones?

Monty Python's Life of Brian?

As I recall, they made it quite clear Brian was not Jesus...that Jesus was born a few mangers down.

I remember when Life of Brian [1979] came out and that there was incredible religious backlash...and I thought then that the backlash was misguided. I had seen Life of Brian and knew that the closest they came to a religious message was in the clip I linked to above which indicates: this movie is about Brian who is not Jesus, but Jesus is real...the manger he was born in even glowed because Jesus was divine...but that was not the manger Brian was born in and Brian is definitely not the Christian Messiah.

I thought the backlash was especially ironic because not too much earlier Oh, God! [1977] came out with George Burns as God and there was no backlash at all...and again in Oh, God! Book II [1980] and Oh, God! You Devil [1984]. Maybe those movies belong on your list?

I thought of another couple of movies that might fit on your list, though these two movies might be rather obscure compared to the others on your list:
The Devil's Carnival [2012]
Alleluia! The Devil's Carnival [2016] ^{the sequel}

They have some story and strong music.

The Man From Earth.

Robert Eggars' "The Witch" 2015
all his movies are awesome, but this fits the bill for your list.

Here are some more:

The Brand New Testament (2015)

Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)

Hamlet 2 (2008)

Mother! (2017)

Jesus Camp (2006)

Day of the Beast (1995)

Hail Satan? (2019)

Luther - 2003

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc - 1999

Viridiana

Bergman's Faith Trilogy (Through a Glass Darkly, Winter Light, The Silence)

Fellini's Roma

Hail Mary (1985)

The Ruling Class

Wicker Man (1973)

Benedetta (2021)

Stigmata (1999)

Bedazzled

Tumbbad (2018)

Have no blasphemous movies to recommend, but I do have a blasphemous song to recommend.
