Okay, someone help me with the Dragonriders Of Pern entry. This seems like it's really, really stretching the trope. I simply do not see how the dragons are worshipped in any way resembling a religion. All the practices and customs surrounding them are the logical evolution of a feudal society that is absolutely dependent on a particular group of people for survival. I see absolutely no Christian analogues at all in the text. Tithing is a feudal concept, not a Christian one. I'm going to cut that section unless someone comes up with a good defense.

Nope, no defense here. Cut it.

I don't read/watch One Piece, is Eneru worshipped like in Christianity?

Yeah, I don't either, but that example sounds bad- more like a guy using powers to trick people into thinking he was a deity.

I made some changes to the Discworld one- I double checked, and Io's religion is the Church of England equivalent in Ankh-Morpork, not Offler's. I can't really remember what the Offlerist worship was like in the city (I know that Violent in Hogfather was an Offlerist who didn't drink alcohol). Can't remember if that repairing roof thing was indeed about Offler.

Cut the To Aru Majutsu No Index entry, since the religion there is Christianity, God and all, not just something that looks suspiciously like it.

i was thinking that something along the lines of jesesque or jesusque would be a hilarious title for this trope, any objections or suggestions
