Bookriot assembled a list of books that address issues related to faith.
"Some of these books feature clergy or devout believers, others are filled with characters who struggle to believe at all. There are books set in religious communities and churches or in futuristic societies built on religious principles. These books address a variety of faiths, including Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, and Christianity. Some are critical of religion, and others treat it as essential to life."
