** Funny Valentine, the BigBad of ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Steel Ball Run]]'', is likely Protestant given the setting and his status as the President of the United States (it could be that he's HidingBehindReligion). Like Pucci before him he's a ruthless bastard, except with an actual noble goal: acquiring the [[MacGuffin Corpse Parts]] of [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} the Saint]] in order to turn the world into a utopia led by the USA. His Stand makes him {{Nigh Invulnerab|ility}}le in combat. Also, Hot Pants from the same part is a nun who was sent to the race by the Vatican to find the Corpse Parts (their motives are never made clear).

to:

* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** The Giant tribes are race of religious warriors, who worship multiple gods, like the Sun God or the God of War. Fighting to the death is considered honorable and is part of their religion. Dorry and Brogy are prime examples of this, as they often preach about their God of War, and that all the bad fortune that does happen to them is considered as them either lacking their god's protection or them being forsaken by their god.
** The Shandians are also a very religious folk who believe in their gods. Calgara, Wyper's ancestor, however, has his belief questioned by Noland, and part of his character development was that having too much faith in his religion was not a good thing. Once Calgara killed one of their "gods", he finally accepted that he had to accept the help of strangers in order to save his people.

* Some civilizations in ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'' are geared toward this playstyle if they have traits or bonuses to faith, particularly for a religion founded by it. Across the various iterations of the series, Spain, Byzantium, and Arabia are the most consistent civs who seek to spread their particular religion and won't hesitate to use force to do so. Ethiopia and Georgia also qualify as they are also faith-focused in their bonuses and military prowess, although they play more defensively as their associated military bonuses are more for protecting what they already have rather than attacking those who don't follow their religion.
