Of course. In fact, religious characters can bring in a whole new dimension to your narrative. They can be used to show different worldviews, create conflict (like when their beliefs clash with others in the story), or serve as a source of inspiration. However, you should also consider your audience. If your story is aimed at a very diverse or secular audience, you may need to be extra careful in how you present the religious aspects so as not to alienate anyone.
Yes, you can. However, it's important to be knowledgeable about the religion and its nuances to present the character accurately. Also, consider the impact on your target audience and the message you want to convey through this character.
Sure. But it comes with challenges. You'll need to really understand the religious tenets that drive the character. If you make a religious protagonist, their faith should be an organic part of their character development. For instance, a Jewish rabbi as the main character might face challenges that test his faith, and his response would be influenced by his religious teachings. Also, make sure not to make it preachy.
Sure, it can. But you need to handle the topic with care and respect to avoid causing offense.
Yes, it is. It simplifies the complex stories in the Bible for easy understanding.
You can often find them in churches. Many churches display religious pictures related to the Christmas story as part of their Christmas decorations and religious education. These pictures can be on the walls, in prayer books, or as part of stained - glass windows.

In religious terms, it's about submission. It's like offering one's life to God to be used as a means of spreading His message. Just as a story can inspire or teach, the person is asking for their life to be a story that glorifies God.
Sure. The Magi's story is also an important part of religious Christmas lore. The Magi, or wise men, saw a star in the east that signified the birth of a great king. They followed this star all the way to Bethlehem. They brought with them gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Their journey to find the newborn Jesus shows the significance of his birth being recognized far and wide, even by those outside of the Jewish community where Jesus was born. It represents the universality of Jesus' message and his importance to all people.
It could be a moral about faith leading to enlightenment. Maybe the man on the beach is facing some sort of internal struggle or doubt. But as he continues his walk, he has a spiritual awakening. This could show that by persevering in one's faith, even during difficult times, one can reach a higher state of spiritual understanding and be closer to God.
Maybe you haven't spent enough time thinking about their background and personality. Try imagining their daily life and how they'd react in different situations.
