One of the better recurring bits in HPMOR is that Eliezer is incapable of writing a character who doesn't constantly think in terms of movies and anime tropes, and so as a result we get glimpses of a version of Lucius Malfoy who was always taking his son to what sound like the shittiest plays in wizarding history.
Lucius, gripping his ivory cane through a Wagnerian seven-hour production of Wizarding Death Note: It's awesome that my straight son is so interested in culture

For years, sci-fi has asked, what if aliens were wetter than us. Project Hail Mary posits a new, daring question. What if we are the wet aliens
I think it's silly when people try to frame "in many religions the question of If All That is *real* is actually not very important and the question of 'belief in god' is a very protestant thing" as evidence of those other religions being like. cooler. Only american protestants care if The Divine is literally real and does things?? and this is supposed to make me respect the other religions *more*? I can understand being careful wrt polytheism or non-lord-of-creation type gods, and yeah being religious/spiritual ≠ believing in a specific god or gods, but "we have a bunch of personal and social restrictions and norms and rituals based on some shit that may or not be real idk, what i care about is enforcing rules and norms" is not a position I can respect easily...
It's silly at the best of times, and when it's framed as "our religion is tolerant enough to accommodate atheism, so you can't ever really leave or be an ex-member" it's downright pernicious
