To be frank, Renderosity is a broker, and does not control (well, to a point) what the vendor(s) create. If you cannot find religious products, the best way to at least make it known that there are people that want that sort of thing, feel free to make a post in the MarketPlace Wishing Well forum. I can't guarantee that it'll be made. But, at least you've made your voices heard to the merchants, at least where they should be checking.
Upon further look (I'm at work, so it takes forever to load, sorry), I see you've already made a post.
Now, I do know that DAZ did create a Shepherd for M3, which can be converted to other biblical characters, with or without the headpiece, and with different textures on the robes.
Another factor may be.....many people may not be comfortable creating Religious items. Some may feel like selling religious products just feels wrong (myself included), and others may not want to offend their userbase.
I'm not a modeller, so I wouldn't be able to help you.
To address another point, I'm not getting where the "DAZ is brokering Sexuality or sexually charged stuff" point is coming from. Look outside, modern people (hopefully the fit ones) are wearing less clothing. Are most mature adults? No. But, are most of the people here rendering every day, mature adults? Nope. You look in the gallery, it's mostly sci-fi and fantasy. Clothes are tight and/or nonexistant. That's the consumer base. That's where merchants tend to veer, toward what sells.
I think another problem with the marketplaces as a whole is the McDonald's mentality. We're used to, as consumers, asking for something we want and getting it. Unfortunately, the MarketPlace is not a "Have It Your Way" type deal. It takes time to create products, and most times, it's for little or no turnover.
