Can he watch movies like Troy and Lord of the Rings without his sensibilities being offended? If he seems comfortable talking about it, ask him why fictional religions in a game would be more unpleasant than fictional religions in a movie, or real religions in real life. Don't try to convince him to change his mind. Just ask what it is in particular that is making him uncomfortable, so you can know what to avoid.If it's that he doesn't want his character praying to other gods, that one's easy to avoid. If he dislikes the idea of gods having physical bodies and walking around Faerun, that's also easy to avoid. If he just doesn't want to encounter other religions . . . well, then that might be a problem out of game too.But I'd recommend sci-fi or anime for your first outing.</blockquote>
