Actually, I am not sure that is true. Christianity is pretty deeply embedded in Western Culture. Heck even Star Trek and Doctor Who can't avoid pretty obvious Christian themes in their stories.

2) Not bothered by hidden Christian themes (or, not always bothered); they're a red flag if they're mentioned or obvious in the blurb. The ones that feel the need to *point out* their Christian themes come across as preachy. I'm not trying to avoid all Christian allegory; I'm trying to avoid books I know I'll want to throw against the wall at some point during the reading.

Which is why I asked about the genre versus books with themes. Though it sounds like this is an area where you don't necessarily like to have your assumptions challenged.
