Never Say "Die" has a paragraph that I feel doesn't belong there:

For one reason or another, children's shows also shy away from using "God." Whenever religion comes into play, it is generally replaced with something along the lines of "the big guy." Similarly to the die and kill examples below, if a situation is serious enough in cartoons aimed at slightly older children, God's name may be used as a suitably f-bomb level expression of shock or horror. If a character is actually discussing religion in a cartoon, God's name is used with a similar level of gravitas, but may be much more frequent, or used in a genuinely cheerful context.

The reason I feel that this paragraph doesn't belong is because I feel that it's already covered by Jesus Taboo, which is basically "religion is mentioned but not Jesus or God".

Perhaps the entire paragraph can simply be replaced with:

Yeah, that's an entirely separate trope.

It's always nice when a minor fix doesn't actually force you to put the issue onto the 115th spot on the TRS queue. Seems irrelevant and I'd delete it.
