Mythology books
Books built on mythology, or on gods of their own invention. Some retell the old myths directly, like Rick Riordan's The Last Olympian, with the Greek gods alive in modern America; others create religions and deities that shape entire worlds, as in Dune or Steven Erikson's Memories of Ice. Terry Pratchett's Small Gods asks what happens to a god when people stop believing in him.
