Dystopias and Religion?

A book-review blogger recently remarked YA dystopias seem to stay away from religion. I'm not sure he's right. Margaret Atwood's HANDMAID'S TALE (not really YA tho) takes place where a fundamentalists have taken over the government, executing priests and nuns, and making women little more than servants. My own BLENDING TIME, and it's forthcoming sequels, bring in the discussion of the role of God in the devastation of climate change and wars. I think most people (including YAs) must either think all the pain and trouble they are going thru is either "God's Will," or they wonder if God is punishing them for something. As a YA I used to wonder why the Old Testament God could smite whole cities like Thor, killing women and children, then drowning the world in The Flood. But then you constantly hear that God loves us. Love/Anger/Hate?

So, how could a dystopia not have it's "heroes" think/discuss those religious mixed messages? I think it's a loss not to probe such thoughts of people going thru dark times.
