Compare [[Easy Evangelism]] and [[Science Is Wrong]], [[All Myths Are True]]. Contrast [[Religion Is Wrong]]. This trope may not be as positive as the case described above if the religion that's right is a [[Religion of Evil]].

* ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]'': The Na'vi worship some nebulous Earth-mother-type goddess, and the humans scoff at this -- untilthis—until the scientists figure out that Pandoran life (especially trees) is actually connected into a [[Hive Mind]], and the Na'vi goddess is quite real. They even explicitly say that they've basically found scientific proof that the goddess really exists.
** Of course, the [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|the corrupt corporation]] couldn't care less, they just want the [[Unobtainium]]
* Religion that deals with [[The Force]] in ''[[Star Wars]]'' is most certainly this: it does involve faith because, for example, Han Solo didn't believe in Force, but it is proven true.

* [[Ray Bradbury]]'s ''Human'' short story.
* Constantly used in ''[[Chick Tract|Chick Tracts]]s''. "[http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0055/0055_01.asp Big Daddy]" is one of the most well-known, as well as among the most frequently [[Remix Comic|remixed]].
* ''[[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'': The followers of Zarquon the prophet await his [[Second Coming]], and they're gently chided/mocked for their belief. He finally arrives just before the End Of The Universe.
** There was also a famous philosopher in universe who managed to prove the existence of God. However, proving God existed logically proved him wrong, and he promptly ceased to exist. He did leave one final message behind for his creation though: {{spoiler|WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE}}.

* On ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]],'' the Bajoran religion is based on the godlike "Prophets" who reside in the "Celestial Temple." At the beginning of the series a wormhole is opened very close to the planet, and [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]]s living within it admit that they are, in fact, the Prophets and have a continued interest in Bajor's future. The Federation [[Magic by Any Other Name|prefers to call these beings "Wormhole Aliens]]," but as you can imagine, the Bajoran religious movement gets a nice boost after the Occupation had caused to many to doubt the Prophets' existence.
