Atheist superheroes?

[Cheerful Charlie]

Now there's a strange concept... atheists fighting the very things which they do not believe exist in the first place...
Bzzzttt..... Does not..... comp... pute.... baaaarrrrrrghghgh

From what I've read, it seems as though the creatures themselves do exist, but instead of literally being angels and demons and whatnot, they're extradimensional beings capitalizing on the mistaken assumptions of the faithful in order to accomplish their goals.

It's a kind of cosmic con-job they're fighting, rather than something as nonsensical as it initially sounds.

Ripping off Stargate?

There is either a single purpose giving eternal source of all things that exist or purposeless eternally existing mater energy exists and by chance some of it will form planets, stars and life without a plan, intention or purpose. One or the other. If you think the latter scenario is the truth of the situation then you can believe that, you're very wrong of course but there you go.

Or: multiple creative intelligences working together. Multiple creative intelligences working against one another, each creating separate quadrants of the universe in some kind of conflict. A being from within the universe travelling back in time and setting the initial conditions of the universe with a view of ensuring his own existence. An initial natural spark later worked upon by a directing intelligence. An initial creative spark abandoned by the creator. A mirror universe working in reverse of a blueprint universe via natural means as a result of some natural work of physics. etc etc.

Scientology's theology. With Elron Hubbard as the heroic man who will eventually free us all. No! I'm NOT joking.
