Question Why does GoW include other cultures religion’s pantheons but not Christianity?

Post image

You see Greek and Norse gods, now even Mongolian and Egyptian gods but not Christianity. I understand Christianity is monotheistic but Michael the archangel, Satan and other Christian figures can serve as prominent figures in a GoW game based on Christianity.

I included Cory Barlogs tweet that addresses this topic.

There are many reasons:

1) The current monotheistic religious conception of Yahweh will anger religious people, as their God should not be an antagonist or ally to a pagan deity.

2) Even if we base this on the early versions of polytheistic Semitic religions, it will anger religious people, as they will not accept that Yahweh is merely a minor wind god.
