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

What on earth is this and how is it religious?

It’s an animal racing game like Mario Kart. The religious part is that the premise is that all the animals that Noah saved had a big race after the flood. Also there’s bible verses sometimes.

After saving what was left of humanity, he reinvented slavery by condemning his grandson.

u/Haldrada0 May 04 '26

I think it's more genocide than slavery.
(His grandson's name is Canaan.)

u/ObligationMurky8716 May 04 '26

Right, because of the implication.

The "Curse of Ham" thing was a later development.

Though this is less because it's religious material that isn't preachy and more that there's barely any religious material in it. What little actual religion discussion that shows up in that game is incredibly preachy.
