@The Ultimate Pawn

When I say "wiping-out Christianity," I'm refering to wiping-out the religion, not the Three Factions as a whole.

Out of the Three Factions, only the Angels will die out if the Christian religion fades. Michael said this during the Peace Summit in vol.4.

And as it was stated in the series, the Angels kept Biblical God's death a secret so that other factions won't take the opportunity to invade.

They were afraid of that happening while they still had all their Seraphs. Why the hell do you think they wouldn't be even more afraid of that happening now that the whole world knows Biblical God is dead, and they've lost Michael, Uriel and Raphael (3 out of the 4 Great Seraphs) and most of their Brave Saints? It doesn't matter that they "still have 7 Seraphs left," having no god to back you up makes you a very tempting target.

As for why it's the Angels that are in a bad spot, not the Devils & Fallen Angels:


 * The Fallen Angels, despite their smaller numbers, are constantly creating services and products that other factions want, as well as weapons & devices that make them a serious threat to any potential enemies.


 * The Devils have Ajuka, a person who not only has God-class power, but has an intellect and a mind for strategy that even Shiva (arguably the most powerful god) fears. They also have the Evil Pieces, which are gradually resulting in stronger and stronger Devils (Issei, Rudiger and Tannin being prime examples).


 * The Angels don't have the techological advancements the Fallen Angels have since they needed to work with the Devils and FA's to make the Brave Saints, and their limited to only human christians (or human/angel hybrids). They have few numbers, no reliable way to increase their number, and their [Heaven System] isn't working at full capacity.

As of now, the Angels are in a more vulnerable position than the Devils and FA's, because if Christianity dies, the Devils and FA's can still survive. The Angels can't. That's why I'm saying it's important that they showcase their strength in th IRGT. Of course, they have Team Dulio, so that's no issue.

Also, your statement that "Issei losing could negatively impact Christianity because he's a devil and devils are a part of Christianity" is complete bogus. Because if that were true, then what was the point of the Devils trying to wipe-out Biblical God (the very pillar of Christianity) and the Angels during the Great War? If anything, Christianity hurts the Devils, since it's the [Heaven System] that gives Devils headackes, burns them with crosses & holy water, etc. They would actually benefit if Christianity died out. They would still exist, crosses & prayers wouldn't hurt them, and the Angels would be gone.
