It seems to be A Nazi by Any Other Name, but for religion, which I think is valid. It's definitely an intentional and common device used for either Our Religion Is Different (Our Gods Are Greater) or to avoid offending the audience.

However, it looks to me like it needs a Repair discussion, because the name is very annoying and the description whiny and negative, and on a spot check there are problems with the examples - two of the three Comics examples don't seem to have any relevance. (Literature and Video Games all seem to be accurate, though, so maybe they were just a too-obvious anomaly.)
