* ArtisticLicenseReligion: Even many Christians have criticized certain aspects of the story's portrayal of Christian doctrine and the faith's character, the scope of prayer and miracles, etc. Many Catholics have furthermore stated that it misrepresents their faith (allegorized as Slytherin).
* AsTheGoodBookSays: In a variation, characters actually cite Biblical verses in their dialogue.

Slytherin) such as the author conflating an icon (an object that otherwise holds religious value by what it represents, such as a statue of Jesus Christ or a necklace bearing a Cross, but has no religious value on its own) vs an idol (an object that, in itself, is holy and worshipped and may even be considered a body for a godly entity).

Added DiffLines:

* ScienceIsWrong: This is basically Hagrid's argument against Petunia's evolutionist claims. She tells Hagrid that Evolution is real, and Hagrid fires back with "Prove it" and somehow this stops Petunia dead in her tracks and she has zero response. It comes up multiple times that Evolutionism is equivalent in sin to being addicted to drugs.
-->Aunt Petunia could only stare at him; and her big mouth hung open dumbly. Here she thought she was so educated; and always demanded that Christians prove what they believed in; but she couldn't even prove her own religion. It was then that Harry knew who the smart one here was!


Added DiffLines:

* TheWarOnStraw: A kinda weird use of it. At first, especially within the first two chapters, it's used very obviously. Petunia is treated as an unreasonable atheist who believes solely in evolution, and she's given zero chance to defend her position despite claiming to know so much about it. However, in the final chapter this is weirdly flipped on its head where Voldermort, the defacto villain and atheist of the story, is the ''most'' reasonable character and tries to show he's not a bad guy while absolutely none of the religious cast give him even a moments thought, openly berating his atheism and supposed acts before basically trying to pray his evil away. Whether this was intential is entirely based on the YMMV argument of this being a TrollFic.

** When Voldermort finally ''does'' reveal himself, he's not even evil. He's basically just an atheist and the characters shout angrily at him while refusing any of his explanations where he outright states he isn't doing what they insist he is. It becomes clear after some time that none of them will listen to reason, and he simply walks back to his car. Quite the farcry from canon Voldemort who would level a parking lot of people just because he was annoyed with an underling.

Added DiffLines:

* AffablyEvil: The BigBad of the story, Voldemort, is treated nothing like his canon counterpart. Instead, he's basically a lobbyist who is pushing for the separation of Church and State, and the only reason it's evil is because the main characters are stating that somehow he will make it legal to feed Christians to lions. We never actually see what bill it is that Voldemort is trying to pass through Congress, but he's hardly an evil warlock hellbent on condemnation of the muggle world and instead more of a hardcore atheist who is perfectly fine interacting with the United States Government.


Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: The story outright sets itself both at Privet Drive and Hogwarts castle, both of which are located in Europe (Hogwarts in Scotland and Privet Drive in England), however they make constant reference to the US Constitution, Congress, Freedom of Religion, and southern hospitality. The characters keep making a big deal out of Voldermort trying to pass a bill through Congress that would basically outlaw Christianity, but none of that would affect Harry or the school in any way ''given they don't even live in that country''. This would be the equivalent of a fanfiction about "Fantastic Beasts and Where They Live" being concerned about the unemployment problem plaguing England despite the film being placed in New York, USA.

* KidHasAPoint: Sometimes, the child characters will raise points that the author clearly agrees with, but which the "good" adults are apparently too tactful to put so starkly.

* PositiveDiscrimination: The portrayal of Dean Thomas. It's subtle at first. The adverb "articulately" is often attached to his speaking, but it's easy to miss any meaning here because the story is so overloaded with {{Said Bookism}}s. It finally becomes blatant when the narration mentions that "not a single word was mispronounced" when he said, "that's right."
