Are there people in your world that just don't get it, and keep spouting opinions that make no sense given the context of your world or would be disastrous if actually implemented? What are some of the most common bad takes in your world and what makes them so bad?

Oh yes. My world is a D&D world, so gods, divine powers, and clerics casting spells akin to miracles are reality. Still, there are the god deniers, hardcore atheists who claim that everything divine is just humbug.

Fun fact: some of the real hardcore GDs are actually immune to clerical magic.

That could actually super funny, especially if you've got an atheist in the party and the cleric is your healer.

Had not been an issue before, but yes, there are consequences. But clerics can do more than just healing.

Are there misotheists who try and kill the gods JRPG style?
