I was hoping that fanatical christian in GW would live. He would be interesting had he stayed in the army. I could see him becoming at least a colonel. OK, it was war and people had to die. But why keep least interesting characters and kill off good ones?
I don't even remember him. The only vaguely relgious character I remember was that toady Fr Pascal in Quebec. There were also the Mormons, also, I guess. Actually, I'd have actually liked to see other explicitly religious characters (priests, ministers, rabbis, etc) as that's one aspect of North American social/cultural alternate history Turtledove did not explore as much as he could have.
