So you want to add post-Biblical demons like Abrahel to the Bible tag?

Not at all, in fact I would say tags like that would be a proper usage of the Christian Mythology tag, though to be fair I forgot to mention figures "from The Bible" specifically so 'twas poor wording on my part. The problem is the tag is very prone to mistags and has at present a bunch of posts of explicitly Bible scenes/characters like Jesus, Mary, and the Horsemen from Revelation, and even some posts that aren't even specifically Christian, which goes contrary to the point of the tag which is for Christian stuff specifically outside The Bible.

As for using the tag for saints, I feel it's more intuitive from an end user perspective to search for Real Life + Christianity, since what I assume the natural assumption is when searching for "Mythology of the Christian Variety" is to find as you mentioned post-Biblical demons and angels that aren't named in scriptural canon, not St. Pope John Paul II, St. Joan of Arc, and Saint Francis Of Assisi. I think it'd be more convenient to have all these saint related posts unified under the Christianity tag, since as it stands all this saint artwork is arbitrarily split between the two tags where it's often in only one or the other and it's quite annoying to search for. Basically what I'm getting at is do we really need the Christian Mythology tag when we can just use the larger, more clearcut, and less prone to mistagging Christianity tag that covers the same posts instead?
