I played a "preacher" in a campaign in the past. He was modeled after Clint Eastwood in Josey Wales. His family was murdered by the CS and he became a juicer to get even. He would quote scripture and other sources from time to time, but it was usually a bit on the cynical side. He had no mercy for the CS, but in general had a "live and let live" attitude.
Try to think outside the box and not get roped into stereotypes, would be my advise. If you wanted a magic using preacher for example, I don't see why not. Look at all the genocides caused by "preachers" and "missionaries" in the past, how they wiped out a lot of indigenous peoples in the name of god, they thought they were good, but IMO, they were very misguided. You can xenophobic, or accepting, you can be the wrath of god, or the kindness, etc. Just because you are a preacher, doesn't mean you are Pope Francis. Expand your horizons
