* ''Literature/{{Hogfather}}'': A major theme in this novel is the ability to bring deities into existence for a specific task. [[spoiler: Teatime tries to destroy the Hogfather by making people stop believing in him, while Death has to fill in for him to restore that belief. Susan points out at the end of the novel that people believed in the Hogfather so that the sun would come up, which makes no sense as nature dictates the sun will always come up, but Death points out that believing in anything, no matter how stupid or needless, is an integral part of humanity.]]

** The Discworld has, over the years, developed a deep mythology that includes the Old High Ones, who exist above the gods and were responsible for stopping the Mage Wars, multiple pantheons of gods that have formed a generic "default" pantheon, AnthropomorphicPersonifications, the Ice Giants (who continually war with the gods because they borrowed the lawnmower and won't keep the noise down), and [[EldritchAbomination the Things From the Dungeon Dimensions]]. Many of these myths contradict each other, but the nature of belief on the Disc is such that [[AllMythsAreTrue they're all true]] ''anyway''.
