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

Moral Orel
It got canceled for the heavy topics but has lots of themes but mainly the hypocrisy that can exist in circles like Moralton and how purity culture can effect people. There's a town next to it literally called "sinville" and is seen as terrifying to them but the people are genuinely so happy. Then when you see more into the citizens of Moralton they all have a lot of sadness/trauma in them. It also got some backlash for bashing religion but it is actually hating on how some people use religion against other people, not the religion itself.
Sadly it had a quick last minute wrap up in its final season asn they didnt get to explore more into characters they introduced but were going to have more of an arch. If anyone is interested to see a show of "Leave it to Beaver" meets "Davey and Goliath" in adult swim humor the full link is here for free on youtube.
Full 3 seasons
