Line 8:
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 [[Science Fantasy|coexist in the same universe]] and are [[Magic Versus Science|out to get one another]].
Some of the more stereotypical character traits - which are not always present in a work - used in this trope are:
* Being opposed to [[Science Is Bad|science with various reasons cited for it]]. Consequently, Religious people will be against medicine, either [[You Can't Fight Fate|refusing to treat the sickness because its considered the will of the Powers-That-Be]] or they will only use religious rituals to fix. They may also hate technology even when it could solve the problem they're facing.
