Small Gods
by Terry Pratchett
This was a good one in the Discworld. I like Terry Pratchett's take on religion (to be fair, I like his take on almost everything).
I think the message that came out strongest was that, if gods exist, and people believe in them, the gods must also believe in people. Care about them. Compromise with them. Assume that humans have some wisdom to share too.
Otherwise they're just tyrants.
Of course, this is a very fictional take, where it is comically obvious that gods exist (there were some really good jokes about atheists in the Discworld, mostly involving lightning bolts). We live in a very different world. One that is not flat, and supported by elephants on the back of a giant turtle swimming through space. Man I love the Discworld.
