Common fault of majority religions, whether in NA or elsewhere. Anything that opposes them is likely deemed 'evil' no matter the objective view... Well, I suppose it's a good source of conflict to draw from when writing an isekai or other fiction...

characters here are really stupid, the dukes daughter could ask compensation from the guild management and the heads of the adventurers who bullied her, and the mc is stupid on his own league blindly trusting the god damn book, never trust a bald guy with religious attire

If it's the cantrip "magic bolt" it only does 1 damage so it won't certainly kill a lvl 3 priest (as I see only one projectile shot, it's probably not a mistranslated 5e magic missile, even if it's a 3.5e version, it's only 1d4+1 damage at lvl 1 so still way not enough to seal the deal).

Another strange thing is that he still hadn't been hit as he only has the shitty AC of a lvl 1 mage wearing a basic robe... Guess everyone had a lot of consecutive bad rolls... An awfull lot of them...

I mean, I expected him to be a bad guy but I really wished the author pulled a fast one on us and he was like the best character.

I gotta admit, using the preconceived concept of "good and evil", and then sifting it through the D&D kind of good and evil, is a good twist.
Even if the priest guy was an obvious bad guy, it's also easy to rely on your abilities. If what you rely on says "nope, he's okay", you're not going to believe that anything's wrong.
That being said, if I thought about this story as a D&D game, and not a silly RP adlib story, then the priest would indeed be suspicious, no matter what. Zealots are trouble, no matter how you slice it, unless you know exactly what triggers them and what doesn't.

I don't know why some of you guys are complaining so much, this manga is structured like a D&D campaign and this is super common in D&D. Remember that in a world like this there are definitive, measurable amounts of "Good" and "Evil". Generally speaking unless you're being excessive in your actions (torture, etc.) it is considered Good to kill Evil creatures. In D&D along with some other auras (such as magic auras or auras given off by undead), almost everything with any alignment will have an aura displaying as such, and will be an easy and immediate measure of whether the subject is a problem that needs to be dealt with.

Every single paladin I've played with registers as Lawful Good, but will still be just as likely to slaughter people as long as they find that the opponent is Evil. It may vary a little based on the god they worship, but it's very possible that Osmar, god of Justice would decree death on Evil people, especially those that specifically have blessings from evil gods like the MC does (or at least was supposed to). Think about it this way - if the MC didn't have this Evil aura (how did he not know he had this, seriously) the cleric would have probably helped him honestly with no problems.

All that being said I think this would have worked a lot better if the cleric didn't look quite so back-stabby from the beginning. I legit thought he was going to be a rogue/thief pretending to be a cleric to steal from some easy marks.

For a guy with really piss-poor stats he is dodging very well.
Oh, and seems he was very fast to tell ppl attacking him that he is an otherworlder.

Seems it turns out ppl guessing he would pick up on the guy being an evil god related being last chapter were correct. And here I was in the camp hoping for a bait-n-switch because his "evil smirking face" seemed way too obvious last chapter to not be a red herring (combined with a 1hp guy with bad physical stats not having any way to survive a fight).

Oh look, Murdersmile from last chapter did exactly what everyone thought. Lol, he'd be banned worldwide with that kind of smile in public...before corona.
