* On that note, Creator/CSLewis' ''TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' series and PhilipPullman's ''HisDarkMaterials'' series, which are {{author tract}}s for Christianity and nontheism, respectively. Notable in that Lewis didn't originally ''intend'' his work to turn into one, while Pullman ''very much'' intentionally wrote his series with promoting nontheism in mind (as well as making an anti-religious rebuttal to Lewis). As a result, ''HisDarkMaterials'' is a ''lot'' more frank about its message.
** ''HisDarkMaterials'' is a particularly unusual example as it is not actually anti-religious. It's frank about it's message and a lot of people with bias on both sides of the issue assume it to be anti-religious, but it is actually more anti-''organized''-religion. It paints the concept of religion (read: faith) in a fairly positive light, but portrays the main religious authority thoroughly as villainous. The result is a message easily interpreted as anti-religious by anyone who's biased to that outcome.
