As a viewer, it is evident that religion plays a significant role in the CW television show, The Vampire Diaries. The series--that is currently on its sixth season--has many religious themes integrated into their plots and characters, thus allowing the portrayal of religion to represent significant underlying subject matter. Due to the prevalent roles of vampirism and witchcraft in this series, I am going to explore the religious beliefs and ideals that are present in their reality. In The Vampire Diaries, there are a number of themes that can be viewed as promoting occultism and witchcraft to their audience. The moral ambiguity and religious ethics that this series encourages can be inappropriate for children, as it has mature themes and subject matter. However, there are also aspects of this television show that indeed follow rules and beliefs set by Christian faith, thus demonstrating a variety of religious ideologies. I will be researching and examining this idea through the use of 6 sub-topics that I have linked above on this website. Enjoy!
