Another reason is that religion, or lack there of, is so ingrained in many people's sense of self that they take any criticism (real or imagined) of the religion or its followers as a personal attack.
Even the most rational and cool-headed of us get offended when our beliefs are dismissed as invalid. -

How about the one where the author has her OC kill all the Christians and Muslims in her immediate vicinity with a blast of magic? That one was pretty bad.
And you think that was goodfic?! I mean, the one originally posted?! -

So John Lennon is the leader of the Communist Party in 1918. Stalin wants to destroy the city of Moth Cow. Biblical minis. A delicious quote from a character: "All you armies are belonging to us," salad Claire.
These are, without a doubt, some of the finest trollfics I've seen in a while. -

The Prayer Ponies one, at least, is a trollfic. There is no possible way it's not.
As for the others, I just sort of hope they're trollfics as well. -

I only read the MLP: FiM one as that's the canon I'm most familiar with and... yeah.
The main character is even called 'Charity-Sue' (which leads me to believe that this may be a trollfic, but you never can tell. Poe's law and all). -

I just had an idea: what if the agents who might be sent into this one decide to quarantine the entire thing? Their mission could be something along the lines of: "set up a Creativity Shield while escaping detection and avoiding plunging into insanity".

That there really is no good way to approach badfic when the base of where that badness is coming from is religious based, PPCwise.
There is a reason Biblefic is considered off limits, and why I am saying that this particular series should be considered off limits as well.
With that line of thought, I pose the same questions in my previous post to you, personally. -

It is bad, most definitely. However, it is locked up in the religious aspect of this series.
The PPC is just here for fun. Going after this, with its badness being rooted in the religious aspect of it, contradicts that fact because religion is serious, and will make people uncomfortable in some way or another. -

As per Crossbearer, of Watership Down (which I believe has been sporked and/or Fill-The-Plothole'd), we do indeed touch things that might be religious. The
Sorta Ruleguideline is for touching things written in a religious text's own canon-- Biblefic, for example. -
For one, I said heavily religious. by

Which, from what I can tell, this fic is to the point of being utterly absurd.
Reading the TvTropes page really makes me doubt that the vast majority of people here would be able to do anything with that one well without insulting religion in some way. -

I nearly destroyed my mouse after seeing this badfic...
Sorry but this fic is offensive to the point that even rabid Catholics themselves will find it offensive as well. I really hate it when people use the name of one religion and make this... thing.
I hope that the fic's just a trollfic. If not... -

Sorry about that. I should have said 'Christians' instead...
Hell, maybe 'a lot of people' is more appropriate since the fic's offensive in all aspects. -

You know, there are probably places where that would work...
