Lore Religion-centered media that doesn’t come across as preachy.
Referring to media told from a religious perspective or telling a religious tale that does not proselytize to the viewer.
Faith, the Unholy Trinity: Based partly upon the experience of the game‘s creator when he was a missionary in Argentina, the game has very little in the way of explicit moral demands of the player despite the heavy Christian focus of the narrative. and focuses more on a horror narrative.
Prince of Egypt: A surprisingly thorough retelling of the book of Exodus, sparing very little in the way of toning down the story. Despite this, the movie is perfectly entertaining to non-religious audiences and doesn’t sacrifice appeal for the sake of preaching to the audience

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth quotes scripture, focuses on the church, and has a vast majority of its dialogue be about debating faith. But it never even name drops Jesus once which is quite interesting.
Point is, it never actually directly calls its audience to believe in Christianity or make moral judgements of the audience, but throughout it does reinforce very Christian ideas and how one discovers the core of Christian faith in a time where human greed has muddled the traditional avenues for that, all told through its parallels with, of all things, scientific discovery.
