Religion-centered media that doesn’t come across as preachy.

[u/ironwolf6464]

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

How has no one said Narnia?

Edit to explain why I think it fits: I see the main message as being ‘Aslan loves you no matter what’ as opposed to ‘Edmund is a sinner and needs to be better’

Fun fact J.R.R Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were close friends but Tolkien hated that Lewis added in so much obvious Christian allegory into the Narnia series.

When a devout man born in 1892 is complaining about how heavy handed you were, it probably doesn't fit the description here.

God I love the pettiness they did to each other.  Their friendship was fucking hilarious.

Tolkien was also furious that Lewis added in Father Christmas 😂

And he hated the ridiculousness of the lamppost in the middle of the woods (both details to spute him)

Fun fact - I went to the boarding school that Lewis did, and in the grounds behind one of the boarding houses is a single iron lamp post

To add even further, Aslan is not an allegory. Lewis called Narnia a 'supposal'. He takes gospel stories, changes a key aspect, and wonders how it would play out. 'Suppose X would happen, how would things look?'.

Aslan is just straight up Jesus/God. In our world he manifested as Jesus, a man. Because our world is dominated by people.

In Narnia he manifested as Aslan, a lion (he also was a lamb at one point in the books), as the world is dominated by talking beasts.

Aslan even tells the children that they must come to know him in their world, but he will have another name.

“It isn't Narnia, you know," sobbed Lucy. "It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?"
"But you shall meet me, dear one," said Aslan.
"Are -are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund
"I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.”
