Deeply religious characters are passionate about their beliefs to the point of feeling that they have to bless the name of their religious figure whenever their name is dropped in conversation, no matter what. If they hear the name, they might interrupt with a phrase to honor them or do a gesture to show their respect. The longer and more exaggerated, the better. This might sometimes be an annoyance to others around them, who might desperately try to weave their words around that name, but sometimes fail miserably when they end up saying it anyway. It's also a nuisance if this distracts them from something important, especially if the character insists on interrupting every namedrop to get on the good side of their faith. This trope doesn't necessarily have to be about characters honoring a religious figure, however it is Truth in Television for some religions; choosing to use formalities for a person that a character admires is another version of this. It might not even be for a character; it could be for an object, a great power, or something similar. Contrast Overly Long Name and I Have Many Names. See also Verbal Tic and Phrase Catcher. |

In the theatrical adaptation of Peter And The Starcatcher, any character who feels any loyalty at all to the British Empire feels compelled to stand, salute, and shout "God save her!" whenever Queen Victoria's name is mentioned. This is indirectly Lampshaded by Black Stache while he's interrogating Lord Aster and Captain Scott; he tests their responses to various phrases, all of which refer in some way to Victoria, and then throws out "banana". The two men jump up and shout "GOD SAVE H-" before realizing it was a trick. | |

A Practical Guide to Evil (inverted): Whenever someone mentions Dread Empress Triumphant, every Praesi present presses a knuckle to their forehead and says "may she never return." This is explained as the closest Praesi ever come to prayer. | |

SCP Foundation, SCP-3140 ("Botanical Warfare"). One of the enemies of the Daevites has a long-range viewing device called the Holy Rays Tube, which has strong religious significance to them. Whenever one of them mentions the term "Holy Rays Tube", they immediately say or write the phrase "praise the Elemental Holies" afterwards. | |

Discworld: When the witch Magrat Garlick mentions the name of her deceased mentor, Goodie Whemper, the other witches always hastily add "may she rest in peace" (often spelled out as "maysherestinpeace"). An actual deity also gets this treatment (albeit nonverbally) in Small Gods, where almost every mention of the great god Om comes with the character speaking doing the "holy horns" gesture. |

Hot Fuzz: Every adult in the Sandford Neighbourhood Watch Alliance when "the Greater Good" is mentioned. Starts off as a sort of joke about how the woman who runs the local pub is an eedjit who just tends to repeat the last thing anyone says. Then it gets much less funny when the villains repeat it in a Creepy Monotone whenever anyone says it. There's also the conversation with Motor Mouth florist Leslie Tiller, who hastily adds "God rest him/her/them" after mentioning any of the murder victims. |

In Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, Nod characters react to Kane's name with "Kane lives in Death!" - though in subsequent games this is dropped due to Kane living. In fact, it's treated as a CMOA, as during a major meeting, he suddenly appears on a screen and yells "KANE LIVES!" He times it to be right after the chant, too. |

A number of Khura'inese characters in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice do this for the Holy Mother, given that the country of Khura'in is deeply religious. Nahyuta Sahdmadhi, who delays the start of trials to pray for the souls of victims and delivers "sermons" mid-trial, (although they usually double as insults to the defense,) must be given special recognition. | |

Satirically used in The Colbert Report, where an ongoing bit is that Stephen is terrified of Islamic terrorism. As a result (despite being Catholic), he follows up every mention of Islam by calling it "a great and true religion", and never mentions the prophet Muhammad without adding "blessings and peace be upon him". | |

The Horse and His Boy: The "Arabian Nights" Days empire of Calormen believes that their ruler, the Tisroc, is descended from their Ethnic God Tash and therefore appends every reference to the Tisroc with "...may he live forever." Discussed when one character pointedly refuses to oblige, even on pain of blasphemy: Discussed by the Tisroc himself; his son makes an oblique reference to his own son someday ruling Calormen, which the Tisroc dryly notes will never happen if he does in fact live forever. |

Safehold: The first novel in the series establishes that any reasonably-devout Safeholdian, when the Archangels are mentioned, touches the fingertips of their right hand to their heart and lips. Weber tends to leave this gesture out of the later novels, possibly to reflect the growing emphasis in the Church of Charis on a direct relationship with God (and less emphasis on the Archangels as intermediaries). It's apparently still customary outside Charis; in book 5, one of the Rakurai agents thinks Charis clearly deserves what's about to happen because an ordinary Charisian doesn't make this gesture. | |

Ciaphas Cain: In the novel Duty Calls, both the Sororitas characters and the Gavarronean militia automatically make the sign of the Aquila whenever the Emperor is mentioned. In the novella "Old Soldiers Never Die", the 597th Valhallan is working with a Tallarn regiment. Cain is familiar enough with Tallarn customs by this point in his career to deliver a "Throne be praised" and Aquila sign at the same moment the Tallarn colonel does. |
