The Eragon books dealt with the issue over a lack of evidence for a higher power or supernatural, there are no gods or deities as such; the closest thing to them are dragons which are depicted as ancient, powerful and sentient beings with indefinite life spans they can choose to share with lesser life forms such as elves and men, but even they can be killed, and all are lost forever with no hope for an afterlife. How the characters contemplate their 'doom' and their will to endure makes for an interesting read.
Good stuff, can't wait for the fourth book.
