Line 21:
* Followers of a specific religion always dress the same. Bonus points if the fashion is unappealing by mainstream society's standards and/or old.
 
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 ''dis''belief makes you stupid. Likely to be a [[StrawmanStraw PoliticalCharacter]]. 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]].
