David was never associated with a star. In Jewish usage it is known as the star of rempham, a symbol of an ancient false idol.
Universally it is used in spells and rituals because its shape and number are magical or something.

This. There are way cooler western religions like the ancient Greek and Roman (dunno proper name) ones. The only cool parts of the bible were just rip offs from other religions at the time.

Those are horrible suggestions, well besides the lake one. Here I'll suggest a couple plot ideas.
>A massive tower arises out of nowhere as a self proclaimed Queen declares herself ruler and renaming Gensokyo "New Babylon" and denouncing all the gods in an act of rebellion.
>A new sheriff is new town, with full control of the yama. Any human or youkai that are deem "sinners" even for the smallest offense, are transformed into pillars of salt, prompting a crisis across Gensokyo
>Mysterious beings in full metal armor begin a prolonged campaign of attacks against each religious faction in Gensokyo, while led by a bombastic warrior Saint called 'The Maid of Orléans'
>A mysterious new village is recently freed from the grasps of the Bake-danuki (With the help from the spirits of the Christian martyrs.) and there hotheaded rebel leader (Amakusa Shirō, tohou-fied of course) has now set her sights in carving out a larger piece of Gensokyo for themselves while seeking revenge on the nobles who banished her village.
But there's always the fan game "The Last Comer".

ZUN did not shy away from Christian imagery in the PC-98 games. It was, after all, an era where the top RPGs had you regularly killing some incarnation of God and discrediting His entire religion.
Then Rumia opened her arms, compared herself to Jesus, and was promptly defeated. And that was that.

That's why I referenced the Bake-danuki, their village is hidden and millions of Christians disappeared during the purges. The thought here, one village made a deal with the youkai to serve them as long as they didn't harm them and they could practice in peace. But of course the original deal didn't last for long prompting the rebellion and escape to Gensokyo.

The "Seal of Solomon" was powered by his worship of false idols. Using the Star of Rempham as a base for his dark sorcery, he went on to establish the Keys, which are used to bind demons to his will with the Lesser Key, and with the Greater Key, even angels could not resist.

It’s a reference to the Goetia and the Seal of Solomon. Basically, the Goetia is the story of King Solomon dealing with 72 demons of hell. Sparring, binding, that sort of thing. You see it a lot in SMT as well. Basically it’s shorthand for Jew Demon summoning.
