I think it isn't hard at all to write a vampire story without religion. Zombies in the last 15 years have moved from religious to scientific by going from living dead to virus infected, so i don't think it's in any way impossible to take out religion and still have a very strong vampire story, without it being a cheap teen romance. I think taking religion out forces the audience to look at vampires more honestly, and not in a black/white good/evil god/devil way.
she's right anybody whose read twilight know how religiously theme it is. Since the first book the talk between good and evil, bells's soul, Edward's feeling of being evil, and Carlisle being religous In order to makeup for being a vampire
@Shroomie2332 Totally agree. Vampires and religion go hand in hand. You take religion out of the myth, then you kill the myth. Religion adds to the mystic that is the vampire. A being damned either by choice or forced into evil by another, forever cursed to drink the blood of mortals and never see Heaven. THAT"s what it is all about. That's what is missing in the vampires of today. No sense of evil. No sense of Death. Nothing compares to the old vampire books. Now vampires are tween love dolls.
@Shroomie2332 Not every religion has that duality between good and evil, however. Vampirism can be depicted without it and still be religious. It just depends on what religious themes the fiction is drawing from.

It has to be religiously themed... because if you don't have the balance of good and evil...what's the point?

I wish you would write a follow-up book to "The Mummy," which I thought was your best book.
