Best Lemmy Server to make a Religion-based Community?

I have been attempting to help Reddit Subreddits migrate over to Lemmy, and so far, it has been pretty good.

But one of the of the Subreddits is Religion Based and when I went to JoinLemmy, and clicked on "Join a Server", there is no Religion option.

There is a Religion tab, and you can choose what language, but, after that, it just shows that there are no Religion based Servers, regardless of the language that is chosen.

EDIT: OpenChristian is now up.

your primary instance (lemmy.world) and lemm.ee already have conservative communities so they're both clearly amenable to it; either one is your best bet.
I do not know of any instances focusing on religious communities, but I assume most general-purpose instances would be fine with you opening a religious community. If you search communities you will find lots of existing religious ones across several of the large instances, though they are generally not very active. If you find that the community you want already exists, but is dead, consider taking it over and bringing it back to life.
For a particular religion or just to discuss religion? I would be interested in hosting such a community :)
- For OpenChristian mainly.
  
  Although, if it goes well, I might consider potentially attempting to expand it by bringing other subs like:
  
  Christianity
  
  Progressive_Islam,
  
  DebateReligion
  
  Jewish
  
  or others
  
  I have already done Queer_Muslims
  
  @ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com
  
  I wouldn't mind the extra help.
  
  Which religion are you/looking for?
  
  EDIT: OpenChristian is now up.
  
  For an OpenChristian community, you are welcome to take over !progressivechristian@sh.itjust.works. The existing mod is long gone. Let me know if you want it.
  
  Thanks for sharing! :)
  
  I’m running two small communities at
  
  !buddhism@lemmy.world
  
  !buddhism@lemmy.selfhostcat.com (my own instance)
  
  If you would like to start running religion focused communities we can create a religion network. Maybe call it “Lemmy Religions Network” or something. You may prefer larger instances but I would be happy to run something on my instance as well.
  
  Radical idea but what if we didn't spread propaganda on lemmy
