Most of the religious themed fic I've read has been angel porn. Which ... is probably not what people are going to get out of converting. Not according to any church I've ever been to, anyway.

How so?

I mean, a good fic (fanfic or original) should have you really empathizing with the characters and the plot. So in that sense, reading a good fic about some kind of religion or faith can really move me and in the context of that story, I can feel, err, religiously inspired, even though I don't have those beliefs. Is that what you mean?

But the only religiously-themed fic I seek out is Jesus/Judas porn so I'm not sure if we're on the same page lol

Well, I don't read actual bible inspired fanfic, or with characters from the bible. But I agree with the other part. :)

Sometimes in fics you have character A who is very religious and even though I'm an atheist I find it very inspiring. Which is kind of weird to me tbh. But when their beliefs are so strong I guess I kind of get swept up in it.

There's something to be said for the emotional power of witnessing someone passionate about what they believe in. This can apply to religion as well as secular issues.

I read medieval themed books set in western europe in which the characters were religious but still considerate or even modern for their time.

It was the first time that I could really empathize/comprehend religiousness and see some appeal outside of "having a cultural community".

maybe because it didn't feel anachronistic, if that makes sense. so yeah, I can see this working in fanfic where the religion is described as integral part of the character and not just taken for granted.

I'm a devout atheist (:p) and I read Destiel; it definitely doesn't make me respect any religion...
