I remember well the days when playing D&D got people labeled as Satanists. Nearly two decades later, MtG dropped their iconic card Wrath of God just to not piss off the American Taliban. Retconning the west to make it not a parallel to Christianity feels a lot like paying tribute to the American Taliban. It doesn't really matter whether it's like Hindu, Jewish, whatever, so long as it's never, ever like Christianity.
Well, F that S, is how I feel about it.
