The religous bent is not surprising since Davey and Goliath was produced
by the Luthern Church of America.  The emphasis was on the more widely
accepted concepts within Christianity (love thy neaighbor, relationship
with God and your fellow man etc) rather than any specific doctrine or
creed.

Hadn't you noticed Luther's symbol, the 5-petaled rose at the end
of each episode?

Good (but not great) stop-motion animation.  Somewhat watered-down
plots.... but friendly and enjoyable to watch.
