Bride of Frankenstein

In class, the comparison to Christianity was raised as the "monster" could be a Christ figure.  In this scene there is more religious allusions.  Are these comparisons valid or is it more valid to accuse director Whale as being anti-Christian?  (The monster is created by man, not god; the "monster is resurrected from dead first, then crucified).  Finally,  how does Whale use mis-en-scene to communicate these ideas?
