Religion In Anime and Manga Panel

This has always been something of an interest of mine as an
otaku, not to mention I'm a religious studies major, so I look
around and find even little bits of references to theology and
the like in series. This would be a new panel that I've never
done before, but it's gotta debut somewhere and I'd love to show
it to people that would want to see something along the lines of
the Psychology and Science of Anime panels, but more along
philosophical and religious topics. I know there's been a guy
who's done Philosophy and Anime, so I thought I'd throw my hat
in for my background. What does everyone think about this idea?
This would be one of three panels I'm applying for, along with
the Shinigami and Brony panels

I've actually sat through most of an Religion in Anime Panel
before, it's an interesting concept, to see how different
religions are portrayed in the Anime Universe. I personally
don't know if I would be able to make it to the panel itself
with possibilities of scheduling of my own panels but I'd love
to see it if I could.

This one would definitely lean more towards Western ones.
Japanese religion could have its own panel, with how much
Shinto, Buddhism, etc are portrayed in anime, but there's a
group on Facebook, Miss Fortune's Mysteries, that does a pair of
panels, Gods of Japan and Ghosts of Japan, that does a decent
job talking about depictions of religion in anime and manga,
but, I wouldn't be averse to eventually putting together a panel
just about Japanese/Eastern religions in anime, since that could
be its own presentation alongside the one I already have a rough
draft of that's about 30 slides or so.
