Even the King James Bible has been colorized for... some reason.

Sounds like a valid reason to me. In color.

More seriously, isn’t Christianity like one of the three biggest religions in the world? Makes sense that one of its followers would find it useful to make an enhancement to the game. In color.

For hundreds of years people have been putting a large about of effort into coloring in bibles. As far as I know the book itself doesn't endorse the practice.
