One of my big annoyances with television is the need to periodically inject religious proselytizing into otherwise non-religious characters. I’m an atheist, but that doesn’t mean I dislike religious stories. Some of my favourite television shows have strongly religious messages. I don’t find anything wrong with deeply spiritual characters in the stories I watch. What annoys me is when otherwise agnostic or atheist characters fall into a treacly religious storyline for an episode or two, or turn to God when in a moment of strife. Make a decision. Give your characters some principles.
