@derp I don't think this has anything to do with the guy's religion, whatever it is. He certainly doesn't go advocating RL world principles to anyone. He's probably influenced by his background or upbringing but who isn't?
It does have to do with... well, whether readers like that style of writing. There's nothing wrong with it. He's already one of my favorite authors; would I like it more if there was more chemistry between characters in certain ways? Yeah. Would I like him to focus a bit less on the 'magic systems' that he creates? Yes.
But is he really talented and, quite importantly in this day and age, does he actually produce new books on a regular basis without sacrificing their quality or making them all feel and read the same? Hell yes.

The State of Sanderson post came out and again AGAIN Warbreaker, Elantris, and The Rithmatist are on hold.
So because I love to hurt myself, I reread The Rithmatist today. It ends on such a cliffhanger and my soul hurts.
