* ''WesternAnimation/AngelWars''



* While ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' is a secular series, much of the production staff members were of the Christian faith (series creator Sheryl Leach and her father in law, Richard Leach were devout Christians, and they were successfully convinced to allow a Israeli Hebrew-language adaptation because the version's producer Itzik Kol gave her the idea of Barney speaking in "the language of the Bible") and the show shares many tropes with the "mascot teacher" Christian edutainment shows, plus the show used the explicitly religious Christmas hymns "Joy to the World" and "Silent Night" in the Christmas special "Barney's Night Before Christmas" (albeit instrumental to allow a sign language interpretation by Hannah). Plus, several staff members went on to create a SpiritualSuccessor, ''BOZ the Bear'', which is more explicit Christian edutainment.

* ''WesternAnimation/AngelsOfJarm'': It's more of a general {{edutainment show}} that teaches social values, but it has plenty of religious references from other faiths and averts JesusTaboo. One of the credits even mentions a "Religious Advisor."
