It depends. My initial reaction is to say "no" because an issue as complex as religion being addressed or represented in a video-game usually comes across as trite, satire, or juvenile. Don't get me wrong though--as an atheist I don't mind laughing at religion, but I hate seeing video-games attempt to tackle real world issues. Too much room for cheap lulz or embarrassing pseudo-realism ala David Gaider.
But then I think about the Children of the Cathedral and how dark that situation was. It wasn't really "fun" or "funny" and it didn't try too hard to take itself seriously either. So, I guess my answer really is "it depends."
