religion in fandom

deepad has been inspired by the yuletide and religion talk to start a community for fic, drabbles and such about Muslim characters, in time for Eid. The community is eid_fic. She pimps it far more eloquently here. This is a really cool idea! (and makes me think about a similar community for Chinese New Year, but that is neither here nor there)

And now is the time of my admission. I was trying to think of Muslim characters, and aside from the characters in Aladdin, I could not think of any. Similarly, I think I would struggle trying to pin religions on any characters, because I've been sitting here for a while and I've been struggling. So I was thinking, perhaps people would like to name characters of various religions. Because often characters (and we) can wear our ethnicity on our sleeves, but our religion is sometimes more difficult. Unless you're Kitty Pride, who wears the Star of David on her sleeve.


eta: I had to create a tag for this post, that's how rarely I speak of religion.
