The whole "Doom is a Christian game" thing was funny for a long time but I think it's funny that Doom Eternal and its DLC kind of seriously squashed that whole view of the series. Even if the whole thing just started as a meme in response to a few people back then saying Doom was offensive for having demons.

"Doom is basically pro-Christianity, since you're killing demons-"

(Angels are actually just glorified narcissistic robots, they are not very nice and we should kill them, Heaven actually isn't any better than Hell)

"Doomguy is basically a Crusader though, don't you get it-"

(The angels are lying assholes and the afterlife isn't real, they just want to exploit your blind faith to feed their egos and keep themselves alive)

"Those aren't the real angels though, Doomguy is Catholic-"

(Doomguy literally shatters the soul of God)

"You just don't get it. Doom is actually based and Christian-"

(TAG2 reveals God is actually also just a robot who betrayed Satan, who was the REAL God, then tricked everyone into thinking he was God, so actually everything bad is kind of his fault)

If anything the modern Doom story has very staunch anti-religious themes. The Maykrs are the source of basically all Abrahamic religion in Doom's canon and they are absolutely terrible, with all of those beliefs entrenched in deliberate lies to exploit humans. The Slayer isn't on the side of the angels because they're "good," they are not good, and he isn't gonna help the Father just because other angels think he's good.

Doom posits the only thing worth fighting for is humanity. Hence the whole "The Ancient Gods" title. The Ancient Gods are absolute bullshit and we should not pay them any mind. They suck so bad and all they've done is ruined lives and made everything worse. Humans have to carve their own path and fight for themselves. They even spell this out with Thira's speech in The Dark Ages:

“We will always be a people of faith. But we must consider now who we will put that faith in. And I say to you there is no better place to turn to... than ourselves."

In Doom, religion is just another expression of authoritarianism. You have to have faith in yourself, because the gods who beg for your faith will only use it to fuel their egos.

maykr headcanons because I'm very autistic about them

This is gonna be disjointed and stupid smd like no one will care but whatever twerks

-Maykrs were not always "angels" that were entirely dependent on the Father. They quickly evolved from the depths of Urdak with the guidance of Davoth and functioned like normal, albeit long lived and very intelligent creatures, capable of sustaining themselves (no transfiguration or whatever, and also imagine if you will stupid maykr grub baby)

-Maykr diets are probably very gross to everyone else as it's either weird processed "food", or very heavily reliant on weird seafood (a fair amount is probably Raw)

-The reason so many maykrs look so different from each other comes from genetic meddling via the Father due to Samurs "advice" (just his way of weakening and subduing his people so he could continue his power trip. Sorry Sam fans I am a professional Sam hater)

-Maykrs are attracted to water and enjoy swimming but due to it being seen as "a lesser activity " they aren't allowed to

-Basal (like their original not messed with form) Maykrs were more colorful, vibrant, and had patterns and some level of bioluminescence, with males being ANNOYINGLY bright

-They started wearing the weird armor and masks initially as a way to protect their sensitive nasal passages and eyes, as they require a high amount of humidity to not dry out. They also did not use to imitate humanoids and stayed closer to their own faces.

-Any sort of "pleasure " that doesn't revolve around the Father in modern maykr society is not taken lightly and is either outright banned or soft banned (religious nuts )

-it is not uncommon for Maykrs to have their fins and webbing (between the hands) cut off or trimmed in order to fit the "angelic" lie they have going. They're very desperate to be seen as that and not the weird fish things they really are

-Female Maykrs don't have breasts, as they are not mammals !The Khan has altered herself to appeal more to the Argenta and other races .

-Maykrs that only have one eye have awful depth perception, and frequently do a slight head wiggle or bob to gauge where something is in space

Feel free to talk about any head canons y'all got I'm starving
