Worldbuilding Idea: Spicepunk. It’s like a cyberpunk corporate dystopia, but with 17th and 18th century based technology and corporations (think Dutch/British East India Companies). You can add elements of fantasy too, like in Pirates of the Caribbean.
It could be an alternate history where all national and royal governments collapsed and were replaced with corporations (which were already more powerful than most governments in our timeline). Or it could be an original world with a different geography and cultures. Or something in between.
I think that other than the dogmatism, my least favorite aspect of Christianity is the idea that the world is wicked and beyond saving by mere mortals, and we should hope for its demise and destruction.
