Orphaned/Sandbox/Check Your Religion At the Door

TV Tropes is a site about tropes and about fiction, not religion (even if you believe religion is fiction, then see this as well). Of course, religion, like sex and like war, comes up quite often in fiction, and we will eventually end up discussing it at points, or providing examples from Religion And Mythology.

That said, here are a few guidelines to avoid Flame War, Flame Bait, Edit War, and general drama over what is a controversial topic.

TV Tropes is not a venue for preaching.
Evangelism, witnessing, missionary work, converting people to reason, initiation, whatever your belief or non-belief is and whatever your term for getting people to agree with you and practice it is, it is not welcome here. Preaching in main articles for any belief system almost always qualifies as irrelevant Natter or Conversation in the Main Page and will be treated as such.

TV Tropes is under no obligation to not offend your religion.
Our user population consists of Christians, atheists, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Neopagans, Hindus - name a religion or non-religion, and it is likely represented here. If a trope example is from a valid work and/or is a valid character or trope, it is welcome here, even if you find, say, our having an article on Crystal Dragon Jesus offensive to Christianity or our having Hollywood Atheist offensive to atheism or you want to sue us for Church of Happyology.
 * Ads, forum avatars and signatures, and other parts of the site are also under no obligation to not upset you over contradicting or being against your personal beliefs. You can turn them off (though we'd really not want you to use adblock to turn off ads, since we rely on their revenue) or not visit the site if you find them that horribly offensive.

TV Tropes is not in the business of protecting your morals.
While we do our best to keep out pedophilic material (if you see it, report it at once), pure pornography (because it is not tropeable), and unnecessary bad language in the writing of articles themselves aside from those where it is needed to explain the trope (advertiser issues and writing clarity), there is still plenty of material that religious conservatives of all stripes might find uncool. If your stance on religion requires not reading about sex, violence, contradictory beliefs, or whatever your hobbyhorse of "it's wrong even in fiction!" is, please hit the back button now.

Alternatively...

TV Tropes is not a place to bash religion.
There is a reason why all of the negative toward religion (of any sort) tropes are generally No Real Life Examples, Please. Bashing someone's religion either from the perspective of your religion, or from the perspective of no religion at all, is being a dick. Don't be a dick.
