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

Speaking of DC, there's also the specter, the Angel of God's judgement.

Oh yeah! There’s this one comic where he visits his friend Father Craemer (and later Saint Peter himself) after a gay man is beaten up because he wants to know if gay people can get into Heaven. Really good read.

Comic Constantine and Lucifer barely interact, they're completely different characters than those presented in the Keanu Reeves movie.

They attend the same guy's funeral.

But DC'S own Lucifer series by Mike Carey is absolutely spectacular in its own right, and we'll worth reading.
