* The ''[[Doctor Who Expanded Universe|Doctor Who]]'' book ''[[Humans Are the Real Monsters|Night of the Humans]]'' is essentially [[Author Filibuster|one long rant about how awful and evil every single religion is]]. The Doctor responds to a crash-landed alien race on a massive pile of space-junk that is threatening a nearby planet. This interesting premise is quickly and completely overshadowed by the book's message. The chosen 'god' of the crashed humans turns out to be {{spoiler|[[Monster Clown|a creepy, creepy, clown called Gobo]]}}. |

* Averted completely in [[Technic History]]. As it is not a specifically religious series basically it is what it is in the real world (a cultural identity, a moral and philosophical matrix, and a way to play [[Russian Roulette]] with one's cosmic fate). Some religions are clearly evolved from Earth ones and others are alien but believable. |

* Averted in [[Time Scout]]. Islamic terrorism is a huge problem (they're even recruiting downtimer jihadists), and the presence of an ancient priestess with mystical powers on Shangri La has caused a massive surge in the worship of Artemis. Oh, and Islam has a particular problem with the female deity of this new worship. |

* Played straight in Susan Collins' [[The Hunger Games (novel)|The Hunger Games]]. There's no mention of religion in any of the trilogy, and even the word count of religion based words is quite low. |
