Best use of hymns and bible quotes in fiction?

Best use of hymns and bible quotes in fiction?
I have noticed that non-religious or anti-religious fiction has very powerful usage of religious hymns and quotes, This one here is my favorite, as they approach bertrand to arrest him for teach evolution.






Antoher great piece is the reference to  ecc.3:1 in farenhiet 451
Quote:"To everything there is a season. Yes. A time to break down, a and time to build up. Yes. A time to keep silence and a time to speak." 

Another great piece, that I cannot find a reference for unfortunately is in the anime full metal alchemit, its towards the end when roy's men move to the northern front to start a coup, their on the train heading to their death and it starts playing, come all ye faithful
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
