30th Anniversary: Ghostbusters: Religion

Christian vs Sumerian religion
"Don't look at it!" Ray tells Egon.
"I looked at it" Egon admits.
The Trap is similar to that of the Ark of the Covenant, previously used 3 years ago.
Again, in Venkman's first scene, there is a door with his name on it graffitied, "VENKMAN GO TO HELL." Was this truly a sign from a hated student, or the devil himself? Possibly Christian. Possibly SUMERIAN?!
Gozer, a Sumerian god is present in a refridgerator, while the Ghostbusters drive a Funeral car.
Dana lives in a world, Reagan or not, where she does not know anything about Sumeria. Maybe it's an athiest world they live in that doesn't believe in religion or ghosts.
However, the mayor does ask a Catholic priest information regarding the explosions in NYC in addition to Winston and Ray discussing the end of the world according to the Bible.
Furthermore, it was mentioned that people in the 1920s committed unnecessary and mad surgeries in this universe.
Controversially, there are also mentions of pseudosciences opposed to religion.
Furthermore, nuclear weapons are factored in this universe with the proton packs.
Meanwhile, I'm getting a visit from the NSA regarding looking up Ghostbusters and skyscraper explosions at the end of the film.
