As for the second question: So...StrawNihilists, basically? It depends. If the game/characters explicitly suggested that their atheism *was* what was wrong with them, or if the whole conflict was about religion (with the good guys being explicitly religious and the bad guys not), I'd be suspicious.

Frankly, if I was that hung up on the political/religious beliefs of fictional characters (whether heroes or villains), I would never have gotten through Dragon Age.
