My advice--show this movie to your kids, particularly if they loved the book. The issues that they will probably actually take are the few changed plot points from book to movie, which I think make sense with the movie.
I loved the book as a child, and this film version of the book was one of my favorite movies as an adolescent, and still one of my favorites today as an adult. It is magnificently shot, well-acted, and the music is gorgeous. It's really quite a magical movie.
As to racist/religious themes, I don't think there will be much that you find offensive, aside from the one "native" comment, which fits with the scene and is handled well in the script. Unless you are offended by minor mainstream religious references or by child-created magical religions, there probably won't be anything to scar your children.
And on that note, and I don't know what your belief system is or how old your children are, but you might want to prepare yourself to start having discussions with them about some of those topics, particularly as they begin having required reading in school or read books on their own that may have sensitive themes. I don't myself quite remember what the "prayers" are in The Secret Garden, so clearly they didn't have a large affect on my psyche the first time I heard it out loud (I was about eight). The racism did affect me in the way that I remember thinking that it must have just been the old-fashioned ideas of the time, since I knew it was an old book. But it wasn't the main focus of the book for me, as I was more interested in the giant mansion and magical robins and hidden gardens. I think your kids would be similar.
I also am curious that you seem to be equating religion and racism in offensiveness. Reasoning?
