** Atheists (of the non-[[HollywoodAtheist Hollywood]]) variety) still have a diverse range of viewpoints about how the universe is actually supposed to work. However, they aren't deluded into thinking they have the answer, which is the first step in being able to search for clarity in the universe.

* You mean we ''aren't'' living in one of these right now (though there are some that will say that this is a CrapsackWorld, or a combo of a CrapsackWorld and a WorldGoneMad. Either way, we're living in insane, uncertain times and it's only gonna marginally get better)?
** [[TheWorldIsJustAwesome No]] [[SugarWiki we]] [[Heartwarming/RealLife are]] [[Awesome/RealLife not]].

** Atheists (of the non-[[HollywoodAtheist Hollywood]]) variety) still have a diverse range of viewpoints about how the universe is actually supposed to work, so they're no luckier. [[AC:You have no hope of gaining clarity in a universe that is vast beyond your comprehension!]] Goodnight, kids!
*** At least they aren't deluded into thinking they have the answer, which is the first step in being able to search for clarity in the universe.

* The world of ''TeenTitans'' when some people get a hold of Larry the Titan's powers.

* In the ''Emperor Joker'' storyline in DC Comics, TheJoker, having gained [[RealityWarper godlike powers]], turns the entire world into a surreal hell.

* About 84% of the people in the world believe in some religion or other, but no one religion is believed in by more than a third of the world's population. ([[http://www.religioustolerance.org/worldrel.htm Source.]]) Therefore, ''more than half the people in the world believe in a false religion.'' Think about it.
** Then there are those of us who feel that "false religion" is redundant, and see the rest of you as deluded (those that aren't outright mad, at least).

* The RPG ''{{Paranoia}}'', where the heroes are secret Commie Mutant Traitors assigned to capture Commie Mutant Traitors, the bond gadgets never work right, and Friend Computer executes anyone who leaves their color-coded zones. One adventure for the game has the "heroes" on their way to a briefing. Missing the briefing is punishable by death... but a badly programmed robot painted the hallway the wrong color, so walking to the briefing room is also punishable by death.

* The world in ''Fahrenheit 451'' or ''NineteenEightyFour'' is this. In the second, razor blades and shoe strings are rationed to reduce the suicide rate.

* You mean we ''aren't'' living in one of these right now?
