As the son of god, he's surprisingly not that interested in religion, except where it's being used to do harm instead of good, and then he's going to try to find a way to undo the damage. Sometimes, that involves letting Gabriel sing hymns (which can blow out the windows in an entire city block), but usually, he prefers to stick to investigative journalists and the courts. Sometimes, though? Sometimes, nothing but an archangel will drive the point home.

You ascend. You are judged. You sort your shit. Maybe you return, maybe you don't. Not a lot of people want to after they've finished sorting their shit.
