I just played the PS3 demo of Dante's Inferno, available on PSN and releasing Feb 9th 2010... awesome demo... I highly recommend checking it out if you like button mashers like God of War.
I think religious overtones in the game scripts would and do work well so long as the story is compelling. More often than not the conflict between good and evil is what drives a game's story and religion is certainly filled with lots of that. So the opportunity is there to find great stories to use as an influence... I just don't want to be preached to.
