She posted under you, mate. Should be answer enough.
Well, I note definitely a lot of notice for the characters, and the plot. Most everyone seems to rate it pretty highly.
Still, anti-church themes do somewhat trouble me. Do they show commonly in the plot as a major part, or is it various person's opinions?

Various persons opinions, and I think it's only really brought up in one or two episodes.
A lot of people talk about how FMA presents an atheist worldview, but to be honest, I think it is better described as a pantheist worldview (everyone is God). Not that that makes it better, but either way, it is more a backdrop to the story than the main focus.

Life isn't all cat ears and rainbows, but I like fiction that stresses or reflects the goodness of life and people, that therefore reflects the goodness of their Creator. I don't need or want fiction to tell me life sucks and you just have to get over it and "move forward," and that was another theme I picked up in this show.
