not sure Westerners are in a place to criticize given that we love to thoughtlessly appropriate Hindu/Buddhist imagery all over the place in our culture

The anime "Haunted Junction" is fun in this regard.

The main characters are the son of Buddhist monk, a Shinto shrine priestess, and the son of a Christian minister; they protect their school from spiritual dangers.

If an eastern monk can be a D&D class, then why not Christian minister?
