WARNING: This is a trope about fictional examples of religion, and how they relate to fictional physics, magic, or technologies - please don't use it to snipe at real-world religions. Not even that one. Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment and all that. Now that that's out of the way... May lead to Ideological Rock-Paper-Scissors if religion, magic, and science coexist in the same universe and are out to get one another. The polar opposite is Hollywood Atheist.

Not even that one. Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment and all that. Now that that's out of the way... When a work of fiction is insistent on the differences between religious idealism and the realism demanded by the plot, overly religious characters may be portrayed as out of touch with the demands and opinions of the world around them. When said work of fiction is a video game, however, there may be bonuses related to the adherence to faith. May lead to Ideological Rock-Paper-Scissors if religion, magic, and science coexist in the same universe and are out to get one another. Compare If Jesus, Then Aliens, No Such Thing as Space Jesus, Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions, Lawful Stupid Chaotic Stupid, and many versions of the Corrupt Church. Contrast God Guise, in which the effect is quaint or humorous rather than abrasive, Clap Your Hands If You Believe, where belief actually alters reality, and Flat Earth Atheist, where disbelief makes you stupid. Likely to be a Strawman Political. Probably takes the Enlightenment side of Romanticism Versus Enlightenment. Overuse may be a sign that the work is an Author Tract. If the belief is actually true, expect reinforcing action from a Celestial Bureaucracy. The polar opposite is Hollywood Atheist. Examples of Belief Makes You Stupid include:
