This trope could basically be seen as a more specific version of Captain Ersatz, non?

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

i was thinking that something along the lines of jesesque or jesusque would be a hilarious title for this trope, any objections or suggestions

On the Shakesphere example the Catholic Nun tradition actually is Modeled after Diana and Artemis. Arsinoe (Cleopatra's Sister) became what Hermia was given the option of becoming.

Tolkien's example is virtually the Codifier to me, but it's labeled Inverted here, even though that actually is more like how Yeshua actually wanted the Church to be, he HATED Organized religion.

Cut the To Aru Majutsu No Index entry, since the religion there is Christianity, God and all, not just something that looks suspiciously like it.

I made some changes to the Discworld one- I double checked, and Io's religion is the Church of England equivalent in Ankh-Morpork, not Offler's. I can't really remember what the Offlerist worship was like in the city (I know that Violent in Hogfather was an Offlerist who didn't drink alcohol). Can't remember if that repairing roof thing was indeed about Offler.

I don't read/watch One Piece, is Eneru worshipped like in Christianity?

Okay, someone help me with the Dragonriders Of Pern entry. This seems like it's really, really stretching the trope. I simply do not see how the dragons are worshipped in any way resembling a religion. All the practices and customs surrounding them are the logical evolution of a feudal society that is absolutely dependent on a particular group of people for survival. I see absolutely no Christian analogues at all in the text. Tithing is a feudal concept, not a Christian one. I'm going to cut that section unless someone comes up with a good defense.
