I just started DKS and talking to the NPCs they always say something about the divine. Paladins of the divine, church of the divine, etc.

So far I know that the divine was someone who ascended into demi-god hood. Damian is "The Damned One", and that the divine was killed by a dragon knight.

So far its starting to sound like a Christian allegory. And I have a problem with that. If I'm playing a fantasy game, I want it to be fantasy. As an agnostic, it bothers me when fantasy games step to far into real religions (ie Dragon Age: Origins).

I rather not play through DD and BD so could someone just relay me the information.
