Religious horror games

In these games faith is where the fear comes from. You walk Catholic schools run by nuns, Taiwanese homes full of altars and offerings, a ship carrying a church that worships an alien relic, and worlds where gods fight over the living. Prayer, ritual and devotion are on every wall, and what they ask of the people around you is the thing to be afraid of.
