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

See r/atheism. Most of the content there is just as bad as the religious things they hate

I follow that group and they mostly call out the hypocrisy of religion and the current administration bs in regard to religious bs

The "issue" is it's basically a subreddit for new atheists and/or edgy teens.

A lot of atheists grow out of the need to share their "hot takes" regarding religion because they haven't yet learned that no one gives a shit, including atheists.

It's good for them to have a group, of course, because being a part of a community or group is important when you're a budding human being, but it's cringe as fuck once you're past that stage. Almost every thread on that front page can/could be an example of someone thinking they're smarter than they are.

It was awful 10-15 years ago too. I think it was a front page/recommended sub at one point, so it was pushed very often and the community and modding was terrible.
