Apropos of conversations with friends this week, which SF novels deal with modern human religions in future/space-faring settings? I'm mean seriously deal with religions, as in they are integral to the setting and at least some characters motiviations and identity.

The example that comes to my mind is Sarah Zettel's Fool's War, where one of the main characters is identity as a Muslim is as important as her identity as a merchant spaceship captain.

Rec me others?

Edited for clarity: I'm interested in stories dealing modern day religions in current or lightly extrapolated forms, and really want recs for non-mainstream-Protestant religions and characters. Stories about Orthodox Christians IN SPACE, Mormons IN SPACE, Wiccans IN SPACE, Sikhs IN SPACE, Buddhists IN SPACE, etc etc.

A REALLLY disastery disaster. I can't put my hands on my copy of The Sparrow but you can have my copy of Children of God absolutely free by e-mailing your wallet name (which I used to know but have forgotten) and snail addy to dshilling@verizon.net. Most people like CoG a lot less than The Sparrow, and I'm one of them, explaining why it's on offer.
