How can you offend someone who does not have religion by making even a tenuous passing reference to any religion?
As an atheist/agnostic I can not see why anyone would want some sort of organised religion, organised enough that it needs a name even. More than that is not going to affect me at all.
For example I'm not offended by seeing a church or even a jewellery cross (both ends of the scale catered for in that). I may have a bemused smile for a millisecond or so, but that's about all the time I'd spend on it on any given day.
I can't see how you can sell to anyone but someone who has got religion given the content. Since you probably can't make a penny from someone who would not buy it at all, then I felt it best to concentrate on people who might be prospective customers.
The issue at it's broadest seemed to be that of trying not to offend anyone in the process. Is that clearer perhaps?
Just to be the cleareest I can be, I don't know if there is any sort of god, I've no idea if there is any evidence either way that would really stand up in a way that I can recognise. I am unconvinced, but also feel that probability suggests I may be right in being unconvinced. I'd not fancy the genre of game you have written, as I like sims and tech related stuff exclusively.
The only thing I know is that if you changed it superficially in anyway (title, whatever) and that lead me to then buy it then I'd regret it and be unlikely to be happy with you for misleading me into that situation. I'd quite possibly seek to take it further too. But that's completely theoretical anyway.
Having given you some idea of where my perspectives lay, then if I can offer any specific help by telling you what I see from those perspectives then I'll be happy to in the name of helping out of course.
I can only do that, and offer some potential ideas of how you might make it as sellable/appealing as possible to those that do have religion, and still find a positive outcome for you. That's more of a brainstorming function I guess.
More than that I can't do.
I've talked about more religion here than quite possibly any other time in my life, I'm not any wilder about it now than I ever was before! You only got to mention it and all this sort of thing kicks off. Nothing actual in this world is worth all that, never mind something that may turn out to be merely perceptual at most.
