Not all fiction has religious themes. But neglecting the faith (or lack thereof) of your MC means a hollow story and lost opportunities for impact. Here's how you do it right.
This was a fantastic article! Thank you so much! This makes me think about when I became a born-again Christian at the age of twenty. My behavior before my salvation was completely different than my behavior afterward. This single event propelled my life in a totally different direction than I was headed before being convicted of my sin. My faith actually helped me incorporate that level of transformation into writing for my characters as well. This was 100% accurate, thanks so much! The X-Files was such a game-changer lol.
Love this article. Faith is such a compelling force in our lives, it feels like such a rich vein for authors to tap into. Thank you for sharing.

I agree. In my writing project faith and the Catholic culture play a big part in my story.
