I think there is room for a lot of variation, not only in local culture etc, but in things like media too. I'm curious how the chron didn't fit your idea of Amarr media, Seri. Did you not think that the Amarr had children's shows? That they would just be sermons, or?
I'm a bit torn on the religious elements. One the one hand, they seem a little clumsy. Not all of it, but a couple of the specific lines etc. On the other, if popular media (or perhaps even just certain channels) tend to integrate the religious element, then to someone who was raise (or being raised) in that environment, it wouldn't seem odd or clumsy at all, most likely. Just imagine the theme of 'sharing' you might find on a kids program, and replace it with 'slavery' :P. Also, certain apparently religious expressions - 'Children of God' for example - might be so commonly used that they are entirely natural even if they seem stilted to a cultural outsider at first read.
I like that the host's motivations are somewhat up for debate - and may indeed be mixed. He has his duty, which is the reason he uses, but there is also potentially fear of the Theology Council. A primary point I think, which has been established before, but a bit of re-emphasis is nice, is that the Amarr - just like everyone else - see themselves as the good guys.
On the PF front, we have confirmation of the Minmatar needing to 'earn' god's favor. We also have the 'Bleeding Hearts of Matar' - is this the first time they've been mentioned?
