This appears to be a pretty exhaustive list of science fiction/fantasy writers and their religious affiliations.
Note that Stephen King, whose novels and short stories are rife with Christian fundamentalist whack jobs (think Carrie , The Mist , and Misery real fast), is listed as a Methodist. And it’s not every day that you see Pat Robertson and Jules Verne so closely allied. (Gotta love Aldous Huxley under “Hindu.” And how “Objectivist” is now a religion. I’m certain Ms. Rand would have loved that . . . )
Also noteworthy is the lengthy catalogue of LDS writers. Just an observation. I’m not drawing any conclusions.
I’m not.

Stop it.
We launched the First Things 2023 Year-End Campaign to keep articles like the one you just read free of charge to everyone.
Measured in dollars and cents, this doesn't make sense. But consider who is able to read First Things: pastors and priests, college students and professors, young professionals and families. Last year, we had more than three million unique readers on firstthings.com.
Informing and inspiring these people is why First Things doesn't only think in terms of dollars and cents. And it's why we urgently need your year-end support.
Will you give today?
