Quick answer no, but Christianity has come up in several games. When playing a mythic history game like Witchhunter or one of the White Wolf Dark Ages lines...

In the single-player game I ran for my young son, I included an Aslan- type figure, Eloheyka (Hebrew for "your God," by the way) that manifested as an eagle...

I agree with Chris Heard. Playing in or running a role-playing game that by definition ignored God's role in the fantasy world would be an intense amount...
I like the idea of a fun strategic card game which includes "fellowship activities" in it, Jighm. I might tweak it a bit for my own Christian sensibilites...
