I feel like religious themes play a role in so much literature! Not in a dogmatic way, of course, but just as a part of life. Because books reflect life, yes? I imagine there were lots of non-Christians who read and loved Gilead, for example.

But I mostly read literary fiction and I imagine this could be a bigger issue in genre fiction. There it might feel out of place in anything other than with religious publishers. So much depends on how it is treated though. If a goal is to subtly proselytize, you'd lose me.
