* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/AbraxasEmptyFullness'': {{Deconstructed}} with the [[Characters/AbraxasHrodvitnonTitansAndOtherCreatures Makers]] (the aliens who created Ghidorah). They're a technologically-advanced alien race who have a dubious concept of morality, deliberately inflicting a global extinction event on another sapient planet. The Makers' atheism is ''not'' used by the author to paint them as enlightened or rational, given how the [[Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon AbraxasVerse]] continues to run with the ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' movie's thematic comparison of the Titans to old gods, plus it's hinted that the Makers' anti-spiritualist attitude contributed to their failure to realize [[DraconicAbomination just how powerful and dangerous their three-headed draconic creation was, until it was too late for them]] and Ghidorah [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters wiped them out]].
** In [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/669955741304700928/ this]] non-canon drabble where the ''Abraxas'' version of Ren Serizawa meets his [[Characters/MonsterVerseRenSerizawa canon self]], the latter dismisses Monarch's worshipful attitude to Godzilla and notions of symbiotic human-Titan coexistence as "pagan nonsense".

* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/{{Eugenesis}}'': The people of Cybertron have taken on this attitude after the first time [[PlanetEater Unicron]] showed up to eat everyone, with "theo-scientists" pouring out of the woodwork to calmly disseminate every aspect of Cybertron's religious texts. Of course, even they haven't figured out how the Matrix functions. And they become oddly quiet when the subject of the built-in kill-switch every Cybertronian has comes up.

* ''Literature/OrphansOfTheSky'': Subverted. The Ship's scientists are essentially priests of a monotheistic religion with a roughly scientific appearance, and in their number there is a faction of skeptical, practical men who have come to disregard the old talk of divine plans, sin, and mysticism as worthless nonsense except as a form of social control, and concern themselves only with the practical matters of keeping society running. However, the old religion does actively maintain a number of truths, even if in highly distorted form, about the Ship's origin as a deliberately designed thing intended to go on a specific journey, which the young skeptics reject alongside the rest. In fact, [[spoiler:Narby's refusal to listen to any of the old tales means that he ultimately remains completely unwilling to accept that the Ship is actually a moving thing, that the universe outside of it exists, and that it is reaching its ultimate destination]].
