Abstract
The object of this article is to present and organize the religious motifs found in contemporary speculative fiction. This type of literature very often reacts to the social trends and tendencies existing in popular culture. The motifs presented in this article are arranged thematically, so that one can see a certain outline of the paradigm of literary figures through which the writers who create them refer to the religious content. The juxtaposition of motifs determines three main perspectives of treating religion in the discussed type of literature.
