I wonder if Nightwing will show up as well. But yeah, that'd be neat, but it'd be more interesting to see if Rao wants to come to Earth. Maybe see if Sol is still single.

It would be fun if she had her Justice League Action personality.
Cartoon Network is really really screwing up that show.
Only the webshorts are available to be seen in full everywhere but still, nice show.

I feel the same. Always gets me angry when Chrisitanity is depicted as that or even the better, correcter religion than X or Y. In any media.
I often get the impression it's pandering to the (overly) sensitive american audience (since most known shows are made from americans for american).
As in, "if we (the studio) don't do that, we'll get drowned in news reports and law-suits if we don't depict christianity in a positive light."
(Which happened to the Lucifer TV-Series, i had so much hope...)
Either that, or as others already mentioned; a mix of using what's already there and a result of the author/screenwriter having been indoctrinated to his cultures belief and doing it subconsciously.
Though to be honest, i'd be probably less annoyed if I didn't dislike monotheism on principle.
As a kid, i'd probably would have loved a show like this.
Now? It just seems to silly and like they're trying to hard.
Which is fair, i'm about two or three times as old as the target audience.

Some episodes are hilarious.
You will love this one if you ever liked Batman animated.
And Toyman and Cyborg? They are hilarious together in a "full" episode but this short is funny too.
And dude you haven't really grow up, you are reading a fanfic about a kids cartoon with a demigod SI that's basically a fixfic.
If Cartoon Network had not screwed up Justice League Action you would probably be reading a fanfic about JLAction! too.

After reading Lucifer and Sandman I became convinced that it's not Christian cosmology.
It's Judaic as seen through a Christian lens without all the other side canon that makes god less of a dick.
But then in the end you find out he's not a dick and it's More Judaic (Question Authority) it's just the angels getting things wrong.
I mean, when do they ever mention Christ?
I hear you brother.

And then there is Hellblazer were angels are dicks.
Honesty there is a reason I prefer to avoid religion besides a very generic "Yes Hell exists" when writing DC fics.
And I utterly loathe some 90s characters like Neron that are almost villain sues.
Heck is I ever write Neron in a fic would be to have him utterly humiliated by an older demon character. Or write him as barely having any power and cheating because he did something like free the Demon Three and so they have to serve him for a hundred years. So he used them to get any demonic power up he could get his hands on.

I blame it on his Orange morality. No one else is using the wings so might as well use them for someone who wants them in a beneficial way. Why make an enemy out of a half-demon, when you could give her what she wants without harming anyone else and make her an ally instead?
Rao is not the kind of god you would want a blessing from, especially not if your powers are removed by red sunlight.

I know America has a problem with celebrity culture, but I don't think that's the kind of star-struck that we're used to.
I think the better explanation is that it's a familiar idea to most of the audience. Even the non-Christians in the audience will be familiar enough with the broad strokes of pop culture Christianity to know what's going on. It's not trying to make any religious statement and it's not worried about the sensitive Christians in the audience. (If it were trying to pander to them, it would be avoiding the subject entirely -- the Christians that are going to complain will complain about using God's name in vain. In fact, the more controversial you can get with the presentation of Christianity, the better it is for ratings, because making the fundies go crazy is a great way to get attention, especially given the size of the militant atheist demographic.)

Okay, those are hilarious. Especially the Hamill one. Though that went wide above the head of any kid watching it.
Though i take offense at being called "not grown up"
I'm merely very supportive of the inner child that all of us have and prefer to let it out to play at the appropriate moments, not to oppress it constantly like many of today's societies demand.

I've heard that argument before and... honestly I'm not convinced. I would argue that Greek and Norse mythology is about as familiar as the Christian mythos, but while Greek and Norse mythology is raided for Cool Stuff(tm) (example: Thor from Marvel, Wonder Woman from DC) Christian stuff, or rather the Abrahamic religions as a whole seem to be treated different. If you look at Japan though, where Christianity isn't as influential, and in particular anime you see Christianity being raided for Cool Stuff(tm) in the same manner as Greek and Norse mythology. For example, well, Neon Genesis Evangelion.
To me, that implies that it's not the audience being familiar with it that matters, but that the writers are influenced from living in countries where it's such a big thing.

I SAID "audience" but really I meant "people" in general. The creators are as much part of the group in question as the audience.
Really, your example supports my point. Unfamiliar religions get raided for cool stuff. Familiar religions get used for plots.

South Park has cool Jesus and Moses. Family Guy uses Jesus a lot. If anything South Park is noticeable for having Jesus almost never being an asshole, something everyone else has become in the show.
It used to be that Cartman was in the wrong and the other kids were right, now Cartman is just the worst of a bunch of assholes.

Honestly the DC cosmology is only nominally Christian at best. They use some of the same names and archetypes and that's it. For instance, the biggest similiarity between the Christian devil and Lucifer Morningstar is the name and the fact that they ruled Hell.
Also that are hints that the only reason we view the cosmology as a Christian one is because we come from a Christian background. So a Hindu person might also view The Presence as Brahman while a Muslim might see Allah.
Case in point:
Michael as Kali

I'm sorry what show we're you watching?
Because I seem to remember quite a few happily mass-murdering angels traipsing through(ok only one confirmed mass-muderer) but we've only seen three angels so far and only had four even mentioned so far if you count Lucifer himself.
Then there was the whole God's ex-wife plot line, not exactly mainstream Christendom there..

While that's correct, i was referring to the show starting with god being portrayed (according lucifer, which the first few episodes supported) as a control-freak and lucifer chafing under his designated role as the "evil one".
Then suddenly, there's those scenes and comments which give the impression that he isn't the unlikable control-freak, just misunderstood and wants the best for all his creations. Putting his plans in a much better light and he's once again the "good guy" and lucifer's portrayal got a tinge of spoiled brat.
At least that's the impression i got sometimes.
That's why i mentioned it, it started quite far from mainstream, then started to inch back slowly.

You should give it another go that really isn't how any of their plots really went.
I could understand if you dropped it because there was too much crime solving nonsense, but because you thought it was going too easy on Christianity/God? If that was the impression you were left with I have to ask if you fell asleep half way through each episode? Or did you drop it during the plot line where it looked like God actually came down to Earth
wasn't him, but did look disturbingly like Ron Swanson/Nick Offerman from Parks and Rec, sadly wasn't him either
I mean there are a lot of things wrong with that show, particularly if you were a big fan of the comic, but I just don't feel your criticism of it is remotely grounded in reality. Sorry.

Na, didn't stop watching.
I only noticed it, while binging on all two seasons in a weekend back when the third didn't start yet, viewing them back to back.
And the main annoyance wasn't the lack of religion-bashing (though it's a guilty pleasure of mine), it was the inconsistency in the portrayal, even accounting for different viewpoints of the characters.
Most likely caused by different screenwriters (with no chief-reviewer or something) for the various episodes and seasons.
A thing that is a problem many series suffer from. Young Justice included.
With this Ring doesn't has that problem, hence it being better than the original
