Balance Religious Bias in Writing

  • Avoid letting your religious bias excessively influence your writing by presenting multiple viewpoints.
  • Let characters hold differing beliefs without imposing overwhelming evidence on one side.

Beliefs Inevitably Inform Writing

  • Writers inevitably infuse their beliefs into their stories, even subconsciously.
  • Readers from similar cultural backgrounds may not recognize these underlying religious themes.
ADVICE

Fairly Portray All Beliefs

  • Present all characters' belief systems fairly and strongly, avoiding straw man arguments.
  • This respects readers and portrays opposing viewpoints authentically in your writing.
