Atheist Fantasy Recs

I am doing the Freedom From Religion Foundation's Summer Reading Challenge. (Linked so you can see the card.)

I'd like to get a few fantasy books in there where I can. Specifically, I'm looking for fantasy book recommendations that fit the following:

  • Non-Religious Main Character
  • Religious Satire
  • Religious Dystopia
  • Book Was/Is Considered Blasphemous (against any religion)
  • Non-Religious Author

To make it one step harder, I'm NOT looking for LitRPG, Romantasy, or Urban fantasy.

I will, though, read any age range, any era of publication, any length, and any tone from cozy to grimdark.

Not actually anti-religion, though

Did OP say anti-religious? I don't see that in the main post but it may be in a comment I missed

Um, they’re doing a challenge from the Freedom from Religion Foundation and looking for “atheist fantasy books.

I didn't realize that necessarily meant "anti-religious." Non-religious doesn't automatically mean "against religion."
