I WOULD be irritated by this if I had ever actually seen it happen once in my life

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously, is this a thing, like, anywhere? In my experience of SF fic, if people in fics with those settings do pray, they always pray to an appropriate canon-compliant deity. Sometimes even a made-up or fanon-appropriated one, just to make their fic and its characters/setting more "exotic." So sorry, but I don't know where this irritation is coming from. Is there one fandom where this actually does happen a lot?

Perhaps you have a really good filter against badfic.

Yes. I don't think it's common, but I've read fics where the author clearly intended to "fix" what they thought were immoral characters/situations by having people repent and find the True Path. It's some weird shit, let me tell you.

Less extreme but probably harder to detect is just stuff that doesn't read as uber-religious to the average American: people saying things like "I'll pray for you" or praying when they're in a tough situation even when the universe doesn't have this kind of religious background, etc. I think that's less of a conscious decision, more of an institutionalized belief in Christianity. VERY common in the U.S. even among people who don't attend church regularly or consider themselves particularly religious.
