Is it gauche to put my sincerely held religious beliefs into my fantasy novel

Like I know Tolkien did it but he also gave us Spanish Pirate Racism Army so we can't just copy the guy

@akjcv why would you want to pretend you don’t hold your sincerely held religious beliefs

@Lady two reasons: one, i sometimes find it annoying when others do it, though i now realize that this is mostly when people are obviously using their stories to proselyatize, and two, i worry that it threatens the separation of the secondary world. i mean, i don't talk about Marx either, even though there's a bit about a worker's revolution, because Marx isn't part of the secondary world

@akjcv @Lady i mean if you can figure out how to talk about your beliefs re: labor rights and the class struggle without talking about Marx or using his coinages, surely you can also talk about your religious beliefs in the same way?
