Alternatively, the villain in faith horror is organized into identity-affirming, likeminded religious congregations that successfully overcome protagonists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Faith horror was a cinematic trend that depicted Satanism, witchcraft and paganism during a cultural deliberation over the \"Death of God,\" which debated the legitimacy of alternative spiritualities and the value of alliance to any faith at all.
