Being a "statanist" and writing a "dark" RPG doesn't even rank on that list.

As to the game...it's crap. It would be crap if the author were a Unitarian or a Mormon. Writing a crap game has nothing to do with a person's religious views.
Does anyone else recall a skit on <b>The Kids in the Hall</b> in which two castmembers were playing stage magicians/hypnotists who were Satanists? The one in which they had a volunteer from the audience chant:
<i>"Owah tannas siam..."</i>
And then chuckled, "Oh, ho, ho, ho, you've been tricked, Bob...

....<b>BY THE FORCES OF EVIL.</b>"

Darrick & Co. always remind me of that.
