* Cassidy does this in ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]''. (And no, it doesn't [[Our Vampires Are Different|hurt him]], either).
* ''[[Spider-Man]]'' villain Venom's origin story: Eddie Brock, down-on-his-luck reporter, [[media:Venom_origin_in_churchVenom origin in church.jpg|is contemplating suicide in a church]] while Spider-Man is trying to escape from the Symbiote. After he successfully drives it off, it bonds with Eddie, and Venom is born.

* Happens several times in ''[[Criminal Minds]]'':
** At the end of "Lucky", Morgan, who's been dealing with a crisis of faith, goes to church for the first time in years. Ironically, at that very moment, {{spoiler|his [[Most Important Person|'baby girl']] Garcia is shot by her date for the evening, who Morgan had tried to warn her away from. The team can't get a hold of him to tell him because he's turned his phone off in the church. Morgan even [[Lampshade|lampshadeslampshade]]s it in the next episode by saying "What are the odds? The first time I step in a church in twenty years, she ends up on the table."}}
** Prentiss subverts the trope in "Demonology", when she walks home instead of leaving with the team when [[Sinister Minister|Silvano]] is finally captured. She ends up outside a church (which she hasn't been in since her {{spoiler|abortion at fifteen}}) and while she looks longingly at it, the last shot is of her deciding ''not'' to go in.
** Gideon ends up in a church at some point for himself (I'm blanking on when it is), but he also follows a young girl into one in "The Popular Kids". She confesses what's really been going on with the murders the BAU is investigating and she blames herself, though Gideon tries to help.
Line 62:
* ''[[Moral Orel]]'' does this quite often.
* In the ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Cartmanland" after Kyle gets a hemorrhoid, he goes to the church to contemplate by himself. He yells at God and wonders how this could have happened to him.
* [[Wolverine]] does this in ''[[X-Men (animation)|X-Men]]'', [[media:wolverine_prayingwolverine praying.jpg|shown here]]. Rogue notices him from the back of the church and her eyes well up with tears.
* Spoofed in ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson":
{{quote|'''Homer:''' ''(kneeling in a church)'' I've never reached to you before but my wife is in her hour of need. Your help could make all the difference in the world.
