How the hell did Blood on his Soul survive being mulched to a pulp
Conspiracy Theorist:
The White God is a big tent god, and covers at least all the monotheistic faiths, so includes Butters and Sanya (a descendant of Saladin). Purely considering heaven a Christian conceit is inaccurate.
The Knights are descendants of Kings suggesting it is the compact between Sovereign and God which is important, with regard to the Knights with Shiro a descendant of Shinto worshippers, a polytheistic religion. Therefore I think the White God’s heaven embraces all who believe in creation and humanity.
We can probably say that Outsider worshippers are excluded, they probably just cease to exist in any form but maybe not even Satanists are not excluded they merely want to reorganise things their way, and Satanists go to hell which is their heaven. Those who believe in a particular afterlife end up there run by the deity involved under agreement with the White God such as Hades.
We have to posit that Heaven exists within the NeverNever, and I suspect it is adjacent to the Outer Gates in the deepest part of the NeverNever, which is why it is at risk from the Outsiders.

Michael was the last true Christian knight for now. Shirt was nominally Christian but I do not think it was his defining feature.
--- Quote ---We don't know that Uriel is the head guy in charge of that. Raphael seemed to have a lot to do with Michael.

One of those guys.
--- Quote ---Not quite the same a lot of the "Christmas" traditions are adapted from pagan Scandinavian and Germanic traditions so it makes perfect sense that on of the All Father Odin's guises is Father Christmas or Kris Kringle.. We aren't sure how much Butters practiced his religion, it was never a subject he and Harry spoke much if at all about.

For some reason my iPhone corrupted Sanya into Santa.
I do not get the impression that he was very religious, we never read something about it in the text. When the sword of faith needed a something Butters did not use his religion but he had faith in something else. He is a practicing Jedi knight now.
I do not know how the Star Wars afterlife looks like but it won’t be that bad I suppose.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Force ghosts, Jar Jar Binks went to hell (a completely different universe by the way)
The Star Wars Universe is as valid as the Dresdenverse in the wider Multiverse.

Oh I disagree, by his very nature and actions, Shiro's life screams Christian as much as if not more than even Michael.

He was a good man and his moral compass was aligned with the swords but that does not mean he was a Christian.
