How so?!
in the Fluff (at least) there is a specific scene where a minister is delivering a sermon as a body is being buried
the WHOLE NOTION of an alternate world where Nephlem run-amuk... Nephlem are from Religous "Mythology"
Specificly in the book of Genesis!
to think in this world of Malifaux that a Sin Eater, a Fatherly Decon of the Poor, an Exerocist or Religous Zelot would not try to make their place is just, well, silly!
to avoid a tangent...
I understand and respect the idea that the folks at Wyrd
want to avoid religous... stuff. there are PLENTY of reasons to not do it.
I would suggest, because it will keep comming up otherwise-
to offer an editors note like the little parchment fluf in the rules books a simple statment; something to the effect:
Due to the Guilds agressive and single minded holdings in Malifaux, to prevent any discourse among it's people, those of the "Religous" persuasion are forbade entering Malifaux
or even something kinda funny:
... after the third trian car full of Nuns and Viccars burst into blue flames... no othe church member dared go in again...
