| - The phenomenon in which a work of Science Fiction or Fantasy has only one religion (The Church) in it; furthermore, there are never any factions of it, or different interpretations of its belief. This is related to Law of Conservation of Detail. The lack of other faiths doesn't particularly break Willing Suspension of Disbelief, so why bother? Having said that, it's inherently unrealistic; our planet has seven or ten major religions in the modern day alone (some founded individually and others spun off from existing ones), and other religions have come to prominence and since died out. But no one ever questions this when it happens, making it either an Acceptable Break From Reality or something too controversial to touch with a ten-foot pole. It is most justified in works where much more is known about the spiritual world than in Real Life, and there's lots of evidence to back it up to the point that not believing in this faith would make one a Flat Earth Atheist (though that still doesn't explain the lack of factions; there is no hair so fine that people won't try to split it). Ignore Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions. As discovered during the YKTTW process, this trope is more of a Sliding Scale than a straight trope, since there are numerous aversions and subversions. We'll go in order.
