Barbara Cochran (a guest user) asked this question:

Language pair:	Italian > English
Subject:	Other
Level of diffculty:	Easy / medium
Word or term in question:	sciatteria e trasandatezza (questo contesto)
Context:	La relazione con la divinità crea abitualmente atteggiamenti suscitati dalla "devozione"..
Keywords:	...che pur variamente tradotti nelle diverse esperienze religiose, si distinguono ance per accuratezza estetica e precisazioni rubricali che non ricorrono nelle altre relazioni umane, come a voler riversare e a far brillare nei segni religiosi la gloria divina, contro qualsiasi forma di sciatteria e trasandatezza...I'm looking for a more elegant way to express the two terms, rather than the literal, if possible.

My comment:

La relazione con la divinità SUSCITA abitualmente atteggiamenti CREATI dalla "devozione" che, pur variamente tradotti nelle diverse esperienze religiose, si distinguono ANCHE per accuratezza estetica e precisazioni rubricali che non ricorrono nelle altre relazioni umane, come a voler riversare e (a) far brillare nei segni religiosi la gloria divina, contro qualsiasi forma di TRASCURATEZZA.

Often, in English, you use two terms that have the same meaning. In Italian, we don't really do that so you might want to use only one of those terms. Since they are talking about religions and Divine Glory you might want to use noncuranza, as in "not being willing to see God's signs".

There were few little mistakes in your text. Hope you don't mind if i underlined them here.
