[up][up][up] I think the fourth one is good. The text on it is slightly better than the first.

I also like it on a meta level since it's more or less the Ur-Example of even having a clearly defined religion in a Video Game.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

Great. I like #2. I don't think #4 says "nice" much, except that it is welcoming.

I like #2 the best of those.

I think it could perhaps use a split (soft or hard) of "perceived as good" and "actually good".

We have "perceived good" already with Corrupt Church (Talks good, acts evil) and Path of Inspiration (Good religion front for an evil religion)

Saintly Church was created because we were lacking a "good religion that's actually good" trope.

Speaking of which, the Church of St Eva, the one in the latest set of proposed images, is a Path of Inspiration and not an example.

I know it's not an example, but it's all I could offer. It at least looks like the trope. If we decide to go with one of the Church of Eva pics, we could probably put that fact in spoiler tags.

Shit. No, the last thing we want to do is try to pic a trope with something that's not the trope at all.

The images are Ok (maybe to text depending), but if the example is not this trope I don't think we should use it

People who aren't familiar with the source not getting it is terrible, but I think people who are familiar with the source not getting it is also serious.

Well, Path of Inspiration is imageless. Harder to picture, since you need to show it's actually evil behind the scenes. Could add a second scene from the game that shows a contrast. Do we care enough about spoilers for such an old game?
