Since UTBS is playing by far later than everything else in wesnoth,
why should there not be some "religious" in that time?
I think the idea was not having Wesnoth (the world) without religion but
rather Wesnoth (the game) to avoid hurting religious feelings of any
group of people. Of course, some christian mythology already entered
(holy Paladin and friends) and AFAIK "Naga" is the most holy creature
for the laotian religion. So those might already feel mistreated by
their current usage. If you look at the current "discussion" about
caricature over muslime symbols, I consider this a very wise approach.
Instead of trying to find a border up to which religious content is
acceptable, we should try to keep everything related to real religions
out as much as possible. Otherwise some people may feel offended because
their border is more narrow.
On the example of utbs - AFAIK it defines a religion completely
unrelated to existing ones, so this shouldn't hurt any feelings. That
it's an elven and not a human religion is probably usefull as well, less
potential for conflict IMHO.
