Thanks in advance!

Both games came out in the last 5-6 years, I think. Both got good reviews. Both have 2d graphics, but Game #2 was more polished looking than Game #1.

Game #1
The developer had a thread about it on the old AG forums.
It was regarded as kind of Broken Swordy, but seemed more humorous and the graphics were a little less pro looking.
Protagonist was a young male, had long or longish brown or dark hair.
There might have been some religious themes.
I think it took place in a slightly BC or slightly AD setting.
There might have been a sequel, or there is/was a sequel in development.

Game #2 -- FOUND! It's The Holy Gosh Darn. 
You played as some sort of angel, but dressed kind of modern, if I recall (not dressed as an angel).
Colorful innocent graphics but...
...the game was actually pretty "blasphemous".
Religiously themed story.
The kind of game that looked G-rated but was actually PG-13 or R rated, so to speak.

2 Agatha Knife? She wasn’t dressed as an angel, but it fits with the rest.

Was one of them Heaven's Hope?

Yes, that's Game #2, thank you!

Game #1 might have had the word 'Hand' in the title, but I'm not sure. It was a pretty popular game, got good reviews --like 80%+ from lots of adventure game sites.

Yes! I'm pretty sure it is Hand of Glory, thank you!

Aside: There is indeed a sequel in the works, and I just found this screenshot on Steam. I guess I was right when I said 'similar to Broken Sword.' Charles Cecil and the Broken Sword 1 artists should each get a nickel every time someone enters this scene...

Never heard of Heaven's Hope... is it worth playing? Looks nice at first glance.

Bumping this because The Holy Gosh Darn is now on sale for $4 on Steam. I don't think it's one of those games that's almost always on sale, so I thought I'd mention it.
