Religious Drama

A drama involving an easily recognizable religious subject, the issues of religious faith, responsibility of a priest, etc. Unlike religious epics that tend to use famous religious figures and events in order to create a lavish spectacle, religious dramas can be a serious examination of characters' faith or lack of faith in God.
