The way I see it, religion isn't just religion, it's also deeply ingrained in culture. And people are allowed to write about their culture, and about other people's cultures. Any religion is also such a huge, rich tradition of history and ideas to draw from for creativity, and believers and non-believers alike have been doing it for millenia in all sorts of artistic endeavours.

When people are disrespectful towards the religion or culture they're writing about, that's when it is a problem - but justified criticism and disrespect are often in the eye of the beholder, so the possibility that they might be disrespectful is no reason to stop atheists/agnostics from using religion in their fiction.

(Now, using religion as a cheap plot device is something else altogether, often referred to as bad writing).

Yes, religion is culture, and it's a peculiarly modern Western thing to think these are separate. Western society is ingrained with Christian ways of thinking and doing, and even atheists aren't separate from ~culture (!), so I don't know why the fuck the OP is so ~precious about what is our collective cultural legacy. Go travel in most of the world to get some perspective, cheeses fuck.
