* In the ''{{Discworld}}'' fic ''Fanfic/SlippingBetweenWorlds'', the activities of the Campaign for Equal Heights are elaborated upon, and an even more anorak grouping, the Ankh-Morpork Unidentified Flying object Research Group, is introduced.

** What makes that second example even funnier was that another group also denounced the Twilight books for the ''opposite'' reason: they found the books ''too'' Christian (presumably because they were written by a Brigham Young University graduate).

* Kankri of ''WebComic/{{Homestuck}}'' from the Pre-Scratch universe is obsessed with social justice, but, lacking a real cause (and personal issues causing him to automatically reject the validity of one of the only actual causes presented to him), he ends up preaching verbosely for little reason and less benefit. In the Post-Scratch universe, he became TheMessiah for real because the CrapsackWorld of Alternia and the lingering memories of life in the Pre-Scratch universe gave him an actual cause to champion.

** Averted by Dr. Noomi Shaw, whose spiritual aspects were deliberately written to avoid falling into this trope.

* In ''SingYouHome'', Max becomes a born-again Christian after divorcing his wife Zoe, who has come out of the closet. Zoe wishes to use the embryos they made through in vitro fertilization so that she can have a child with her partner, Vanessa. Max's pastor, Pastor Clive, encourages him to be homophobic and eventually sue Zoe and Vanessa for the embryos.

* {{Kaamelott}} has the Répurgateur, the batshit Inquisitor / papal envoy, who declares nearly everything (magic, mistresses, mental defects...) heretical and sends people to the stake at the drop of a hat. Absolutely no one takes him seriously, which isn't hard when even the local AmbiguousDisorder guy can beat him in a swordfight. In the pilot, ''he'' ends up on the stake after Arthur points out that his sword Excalibur is magic, so technically Arthur is a magic user and thus should be sent to the stake. Oh, and his name is the French translation of {{Warhammer}}'s Witch Hunter.

* ''PennAndTellerBullshit'' is ''very'' fond of making sure to get the footage of the groups acting this way, rather than a more "rational" response stated at another date. As per Penn's own description, "Fair, and EXTREMELY biased."

* On ''DrawnTogether'', Princess Clara is prone to this. At one point, she wishes Xandir and his new boyfriend live happily ever after...until God throws them both in the fiery pits of Hell, of course.

* Inverted in ''NeverLetMeGo'': no matter how horrible things get, no one ever show any outrage against the system. Two of the three protagonists have emotional outbursts of dissaproval and almost hate, but always [[InternalizedCategorism aimed at themselves]].

** Sinfest is actually an interesting example, because it is a series where the main characters can often see God make signs in the sky, where the Devil runs a MegaCorp, where Jesus and Buddha occasionally drop by for chilling, and where one main character is in a relationship with with a [[HornyDevils reformed demon girl]]. Seymour's problem is not that he is trying to push the existence of his god onto characters because everyone ''knows'' he exists... but that he refuses to see that there are gray areas between blind and obsessive worshiping and (for example) being genuine friends with a cute girl from hell.

* ''PennAndTellerBullshit'' portrays various groups this way. For example, PETA.

* ''TheOnion'' reports on [[http://www.theonion.com/articles/christ-converts-to-islam,754/ "Christ Converts to Islam"]]: ''Millions more, however, have decried the recalcitrant Christ's apostasy, breaking ties with Him and calling His conversion "a heathen act" of "utmost blasphemy before Himself".''

* ''Website/{{FSTDT}}'' lives on this trope.

* One ''SouthPark'' episode ended with a ban on secular Christmas as well as religious Christmas, all thanks to Kyle's mother. They ended up staging a production by New York minimalist composer Philip Glass, which included all the children in black leotards and doing interpretive dance.
