In the future, long after our current society has crumbled into nothing, mankind survives. They have been reduced to tribal beings, clinging to the last throes of survival. But all is not lost for humanity, for this tribe has discovered the God of the new world. He shall lead their tribe out of the darkness. He shall bring humanity back to what it once was... wait, is that Abraham Lincoln they're worshiping? Yes, after all records of society were erased, the poor, confused tribal humans of the future stumbled upon The Constant of their predecessors. It may have been a monument, or it may have been a pop culture icon of the past. But in their confused state, the poor tribesmen have mistaken it for an image of the gods, and have begun worshiping it in kind. It should be noted that this is a separate trope from Cargo Cult, though the two can overlap. A Cargo Cult is when an object is interpreted as a sign of the gods or a god itself. All Hail the Great God Mickey is similar, but occurs After the End, when the remnants of a past society are mistaken for a sign of the gods. Due to cultural drift, this trope may also be found attached to Days of Future Past. Subtrope of Legend Fades to Myth. Compare Future Imperfect, From Cataclysm to Myth and Profound by Pop Song. Not to be confused with Disney Owns This Trope. See also Single-Precept Religion. |

Fallout: Nuka Break: Ben the ghoul is asked if he can remember anything from before the bombs fell, and all he can come up with is "By Mennen", though he can't remember what it means. The other main characters assume it to be part of a religious hymn, and start using the phrase similarly to "by God". Mennen is the company that makes, among other things, Speed Stick deodorant, which have "By Mennen" stamped on their packages, and many 80s and 90s ads for Speed Stick and its relatives had the jingle at the end (although since the company was acquired by Colgate-Palmolive back in 1992 the name's been gradually phased out from advertising). | |

Enemy Mine: At one point, Davidge quotes Mickey Mouse, and the alien Jeriba Shigan assumes the cartoon character is actually a "great Earthman teacher," which Davidge does not correct. This leads to a hilarious bit during a later argument, when Jerry thinks he's deeply insulting Davidge's beliefs by calling Mickey Mouse "one big, stupid DOPE!" It helped that the line was functionally identical to a famous quote from a great Drac teacher Shigan follows. | |

The sequel Forbidden West introduces the Quen, who revere Ted Faro as the prophet who saved the world and Elisabet Sobeck as his Hypercompetent Sidekick. Their titles, such as the "Board of Overseers" and the "Ceo", are taken from 21st century corporations. They don't realize that Faro was a Corrupt Corporate Executive who had a severe falling out with Sobeck, who was the one who was actually responsible for most of his company's innovations, nor do they realize that Faro's greed destroyed the world. Alva, a Quen Diviner who is part of their expedition to North America, has a severe Broken Pedestal moment when she learns the truth about her ancient idol. | |

Riddley Walker, set some two thousand years after a nuclear war, has widespread worship of the god St Eusa (the Catholic Saint Eustace, buried in Canterbury Cathedral). The story of St Eusa also involves computer technology, the atom bomb, and puppet shows. The ruins of Canterbury, now known as Cambry, have the shrine to "Eusa" that forms the base of the St Eusa story. | |

The Wahgi people of Papua New Guinea have been known to paint images of The Phantom on their shields, which is usually reserved for creatures that the Wahgi warriors want to emulate. The reason for this is most likely that American soldiers stationed on Papua New Guinea brought with them Phantom comic books and shared them with the natives. The Phantom is a mortal man, but his speed, skill and strength gives him an air of invulnerability, which the Wahgi wish to emulate. The Phantom also "worships" his ancestors by taking up their mantle, similarily to the Wahgi's ancestor worship. | |

Motel of the Mysteries is an illustrated gag "archeological report" on relics found in a long-ago hotel room, as written up by future archeologists with a very Future Imperfect understanding of our era. One of their ongoing debates is about which "ancient altar" was the more revered: the television or the toilet. | |

We Will Rock You: The Bohemians worship Queen as gods, and "Bohemian Rhapsody" is their sacred text. They are also devotees of late-20th century music in general, but understand very little of the cultural context or significance of it; one gag written into the script is that the male leader of the Bohemians takes on the name of a female pop star as his rebel name (in the original production, the name used was Britney Spears). | |

SCP Foundation: The Bellerverse is a collection of stories set on Earth long after the apocalypse hits. While the Foundation had measures in place to restart humanity if/when this happened, this too is far in the past, to the point where the original researchers, staff and even SCPs are now considered gods, heroes and monsters (such as the First King Starel locked away with the dragon Sikayt, in fact Captain Strelnikov who voluntarily became bait to trap the indestructible reptile SCP-682 in an inescapable maze). The Doctors of the Church canon is similar, set in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity has fallen back to a medieval society. The Foundation survives as a church, with the senior staff worshipped as old prophets and containment procedures treated like sacred rituals. This was actually intentional on the part of the Foundation, who knew that a religious order was the most likely form the Foundation might survive in if society collapsed. Dr. Bright is still "alive", and makes sure they stay on track (though he'd really prefer if they stopped all that damn worship). |

Snow Crash has, as a key element, a franchise church called "the Reverend Wayne's Pearly Gates". The church's decor and religion orbits what it defines as its own Holy Trinity: Jesus, Elvis, and the Reverend Wayne Bedford. (Jesus does get top billing in the artwork, but Elvis appears more frequently and, apparently, gets at least as much reverence. After all, Elvis Shot JFK to save America from Communism, according to their holy writ.) | |

Emberverse: The Dúnedain Rangers have a quasi-religious reverence for the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Just how serious they take this reverence varies from individual to individual. The older members, with the extreme exception of Astrid, tend to take it less seriously while the younger members consider them actual histories and swear by the Valar. Given that they pal around with a bunch of Wiccans who consider any god or god figure from classical religion or mythology to be aspects of the same multifaceted divinity or divinities and have a fairly laissez-faire attitude toward worship, it's reasonably justified. | |

De Kiekeboes: In the album De Wereld Volgens Kiekeboe (translation: "The World According To Kiekeboe") Kiekeboe travels to the far future, when mankind has destroyed most of its civilization during a world war. They rebuilt everything afterwards and discovered the entire collection of Kiekeboes albums (except for the one they are currently appearing in). They enjoyed the books so much that they built their entire civilization according to the universe in Kiekeboe's stories. Naturally they do get a lot of things about our century wrong, because the albums are the only artefacts they can base their knowledge on. | |

Fallout: New Vegas: This is how the Kings became a gang of Elvis Impersonators. After finding a school filled with memorabilia, instructions on how to act like him, and a metric ton of hair gel, they figured it must be a place of worship, and that they'd keep his memory alive. They're not wrong, per se. Notably, this is all without even knowing his name — in all that memorabilia, nothing in the building explicitly said what the name of the person being emulated was due to damage and looting in the centuries since the bombs fell, just that he was "the King."note This was also, out-of-universe, due to Elvis Presley's estate retaining the rights to his image and music, and the developers not having the funds to officially license them Downplayed in that the Kings — or the leaders, at the very least — don't really think of "The King" as a god per se, viewing him more as an enlightened person worth emulating, akin to some views of Buddha. The Sorrows tribe in the New Vegas DLC Honest Hearts worship the "Father in the Caves", who was an ex-Marine turned survivalist who protected their ancestors from afar shortly after the Great War. After meeting the Mormon missionaries from New Canaan, they were confused by their teachings and came to believe that the Christian God and their Father were one and the same. |

Schlock Mercenary: Reverend Theo Forbius, resident Chaplain for Tagon's Toughs, refers to "The Gospel of Uncle Benjamin" when confronted with the quote "With great power comes great responsibility" and Greyskull's Power as part of an exorcism rite (the first time was in a dream sequence, but the second was a direct reference of his own). When Admiral Emm performs a wedding for Theo and his fiancée, it takes about thirty seconds, and most of that is just declaring her legal ability to marry them. She explains that her parents were "Orthodox Las Veganists", First Church of the King. |

They discovered Lister's plans to open a fast food franchise, and mistook it for a Church of the One True Religion.

Mad Max: Fury Road: The War Boys revere the spirit of "V8" (the engine, not the drink). Nux is so devoted to the spirit that he has an engine block scarification on his chest. Their language is heavily influenced by this trope as well, to the point that ordinary water (a rare and valuable commodity) is now called "Aqua Cola". Also, Nux proclaims that after his suicide attack, he would be in Valhalla "McFeasting with the heroes of our time". |

Fallout 3: In the DLC "The Pitt", your reward for finding all 100 ingots in the steelyard is a suit of power armor. While it resembles Ashur's own suit, Everett mentions that some of the local tribals fashioned this power armor to resemble their "gods". Although the colors are faded, the armor is clearly decked out in the black and yellow colors of the Pittsburgh Steelersnote A common color scheme among the city's sports teams, shared with the Pirates and Penguins. Ashur's own armor has an identical color scheme, so it's possible he's simply exploiting local superstitions to appear as a "god". Abraham Lincoln (via the remnants of the Lincoln Memorial, where the Gettysburg Address is still legible) is seen as something of a deity to freed slaves. |

As it turns out, Beetee knew that Starbucks was actually a coffee chain, but never had the heart to tell Blight. When Joanna and Connor find out, they burst into laughter. | |

Wasteland The Servants of the Mushroom Cloud worship the nuclear holocaust as a holy event and radiation as divine while seeing Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer as prophets. They seek to convert everyone in the wastes to their literally poisonous ideology and have several sects across postwar America such as the M.A.D. Monks and Cult of the Holy Detonation, although they're mostly benign and perform good deeds like maintaining the Las Vegas nuclear power plant to provide power to the city and surrounding settlements. The Rail Nomads are a group of tribal Native Americans who live in train cars and worship John Henry as well as Choo Choo Charlie from old Good & Plenty candy commercials. Wasteland 3 has the Gippers who worship Ronald Reagan as a God-Emperor and are ruled by an AI of him. |

Fallout: The Children of Atom worship radiation and nuclear annihilation as vehicles of creation and life, and it's not the only time characters have misconstrued pre-war information as some kind of religion. Fallout 3: In the DLC "The Pitt", your reward for finding all 100 ingots in the steelyard is a suit of power armor. While it resembles Ashur's own suit, Everett mentions that some of the local tribals fashioned this power armor to resemble their "gods". Although the colors are faded, the armor is clearly decked out in the black and yellow colors of the Pittsburgh Steelersnote A common color scheme among the city's sports teams, shared with the Pirates and Penguins. Ashur's own armor has an identical color scheme, so it's possible he's simply exploiting local superstitions to appear as a "god". Abraham Lincoln (via the remnants of the Lincoln Memorial, where the Gettysburg Address is still legible) is seen as something of a deity to freed slaves. Fallout: New Vegas: This is how the Kings became a gang of Elvis Impersonators. After finding a school filled with memorabilia, instructions on how to act like him, and a metric ton of hair gel, they figured it must be a place of worship, and that they'd keep his memory alive. They're not wrong, per se. Notably, this is all without even knowing his name — in all that memorabilia, nothing in the building explicitly said what the name of the person being emulated was due to damage and looting in the centuries since the bombs fell, just that he was "the King."note This was also, out-of-universe, due to Elvis Presley's estate retaining the rights to his image and music, and the developers not having the funds to officially license them Downplayed in that the Kings — or the leaders, at the very least — don't really think of "The King" as a god per se, viewing him more as an enlightened person worth emulating, akin to some views of Buddha. The Sorrows tribe in the New Vegas DLC Honest Hearts worship the "Father in the Caves", who was an ex-Marine turned survivalist who protected their ancestors from afar shortly after the Great War. After meeting the Mormon missionaries from New Canaan, they were confused by their teachings and came to believe that the Christian God and their Father were one and the same. |

1983: Doomsday: A minority of people in the Republic of Lincoln seem to worship Abraham Lincoln as a deity. However normal circumstances that bring this about are subverted: the cult seemed to have formed because "the people are desperate for any piece of old America, no matter how small." There's also the "Cult of the Once and Future King", in New Britain, which worships King Arthur and The British Royal Family as divine. It's practically a step away from turning the British Empire itself into a god. |

The island is populated by a tribe of waitresses waiting for the arrival of the Great Customer, who turns out to be Captain Huffenpuff who is a dead ringer for the tribe's idol. The Captain must eat everything the waitresses serve him lest he offends them. | |

Mad Max: Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome: The kids are waiting for Captain Walker (Ã la John Frum) and believe things like records and radios are magical, even if they don't know how to use them. "Captain Walker" is a Shout-Out to Riddley Walker, another classic post-apocalyptic tale. Given the end of the world was just a few years before, there was almost certainly a real Walker and the kids are half-remembering things they were too young to understand. Mad Max: Fury Road: The War Boys revere the spirit of "V8" (the engine, not the drink). Nux is so devoted to the spirit that he has an engine block scarification on his chest. Their language is heavily influenced by this trope as well, to the point that ordinary water (a rare and valuable commodity) is now called "Aqua Cola". Also, Nux proclaims that after his suicide attack, he would be in Valhalla "McFeasting with the heroes of our time". |

Transhuman Space: There's a religion that worships Elvis. It's only 100 years in the future and there hasn't been any great catastrophe, so they know who he was, but someone in Memphis was supposedly healed by a vision of Elvis, which lead to an evangelical Christan movement called the Sons and Daughters of the King (also known as the Presleyan Heresy). It's even schismed; one leader (derisively known as "the Colonel") declared that all images of Elvis should be from his early years, leading to a split between the Sons and Daughters of the King (the Younger) and the Sons and Daughters of the King (the Elder). | |

Brave New World has its future dystopian society view Henry T. Ford as a God-like figure, to the point where Ford's name is used in phrases where "God" would have been used originally. It's because he invented the system of production lines that they use to produce everything (including children). In issues of psychology, however, they refer to "Freud". However, they're apparently believed to have been the same person. It's also implied that this religion was designed to allow for easy conversion of Christian symbols: cut off the top part of a cross, and you've got a perfectly servicable T (as in the Model T), which is used similarly in the Ford religion. It doesn't even seem to be a secret in-universe that this religion was fabricated out of whole cloth as a tool of social control, but most people go along with it anyway because it's the path of least resistance... and the whole plot of the book is a thoroughly unsubtle moral lesson about why taking the path of least resistance instead of applying any critical thinking to what you've been brought up to believe is a bad thing. | |

After the End: A Post-Apocalyptic America: The tongue-in-cheek post-apocalyptic America has a fair few, though the dev teams have taken pains to avoid shallow parody and build surprisingly believable faiths out of them: Followers of a religion known as Americanism have taken the Founding Fathers of the United States to be gods who once walked among men, interpreting the many monuments and statues to them as temples and idols. Their entire religion is structured around the interpretation of documents such as the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Federalist Papers as religious texts. The Tribe of the Mouse may be a literal example of this trope. They are Americanists (although earlier versions had them as Atomicists), but given their name and the fact that their capital is in Orlando and their ruling family is the Waltney family, it is likely they have some reverence for Disney and Mickey Mouse. A few of the descriptions of the Consumerist religion that arises a while into the game suggests that one of the major in-universe inspirations was the consumerists-to-be finding references to the Almighty Dollar and taking it seriously. The Monetarist heresy in turn is implied to have emerged from Consumerists finding texts on monetarism and interpreting them through their pre-existing religious lens (the key point of contention between Monetarism and mainstream Consumerism is that Consumerism sees spending wealth as a holy act while Monetarism believes overspending is an affront to the Almighty Dollar). Followers of Occultism's Lore of the Old Ones are not aware that the writings of H. P. Lovecraft were intended as fiction and regard them as holy documents offering both wisdom and warning. The Lore of the Masons likewise misinterprets Freemasonry as an independent religion rather than a fraternal brotherhood. In what was the American Southwest and northern Mexico, El Santo has been interpreted to be an actual, literally semi-divine saint that the player can choose to follow the path of. Because the new world has forgotten about the whole "kayfabe" thing, unarmed gladiatorial combat is involved. Although the Atomicists and Rust Cultists are primarily Cargo Cults, the relics they worship are remnants of pre-Event civilization (the Atomicists worship "the power of Atom" without really knowing what that is, and the Rust Cultists see the machinery of old as the creation of a higher power), and they have re-purposed related non-material concepts into their faith — for example, the Atomicist religious leadership, when founded, is the Atomic Energy Commission. Revelationism is a unique take on this trope, as their subject of fascination is in fact Protestant Christianity. Allegorical Biblical stories lost their context and went on to be taken literally, folkloric practices such as speaking in tounges or divine healing completely overtakes mainstream theological practices, and syncretism with local myths and superstitions leads up to a pantheon consisting of the (very literal) Lamb, the divine Burning Bush, and the knowledge-giving Serpent. The Orientalists are a group descended from non-Muslims reconstructing Islam from what sources they could find. While the result is closer to Islam than Revelationism is to Christianity (Orientalism is classified as part of the Muslim religious group, while Revelationism is Pagan), it still includes… oddities like seeing Arabian Nights as a holy text and Aladdin as a holy figure, and wearing Shriner-derived garb. |

A Canticle for Leibowitz: The first chapter is set in the 26th century, long after a disastrous nuclear war. A seventeen-year-old novice named Brother Francis Gerard is on a vigil in the desert. While searching for a rock to complete a shelter, he encounters a pilgrim who inscribes Hebrew on a rock that appears the perfect fit for the shelter. When Brother Francis removes the rock he discovers the entrance to an ancient fallout shelter containing "relics", such as handwritten notes on crumbling memo pads bearing cryptic texts resembling a 20th-century shopping list. He soon realizes that these notes appear to have been written by Leibowitz, the founder of his order. The discovery of the ancient documents causes an uproar at the monastery, as the other monks speculate that the relics once belonged to Leibowitz. The items are then used as evidence in Leibowitz's canonization process, thus making them actual holy relics under the Church's definition. | |

Mr Burns: A Post-Electric Play is an exploration of this trope, discussing how a piece of pop culture becomes a focus of myth and worship over time as history and fiction become muddled. The play starts out shortly after the nuclear apocalypse, with a group of survivors talking about an old episode of The Simpsons to pass the time. Eventually, they form a small theater troupe and begin performing a slightly altered version of the episode for the entertainment of tribal audiences, who further spread the story around. The play is gradually expanded and altered with each retelling until it barely resembles the original episode, having been twisted into a religious opera performance about an evil god of radiation named Mr. Burns destroying Springfield as an allegory for the Creation Myth of the world. | |

South Park: "The Wacky Molestation Adventure": The children of South Park manage to send all adults to jail on false molestation charges. And of course, Social Services Does Not Exist. Later, in the ruins of the town, the children are seen worshipping a statue of John Elway made of trash that is supposed to represent "The Great Provider", a supreme being that provides them food and shelter (as a faint memory of what their parents did for them). Played for Laughs when we find out it's been only a week since all adults have left. In another episode, Cartman tells Butters that the government is watching everything they do, and Butters misinterprets that as the government is a literal benevolent god. He and a handful of converts start confessing their sins at the Department of Motor Vehicles like actual church and this pisses off an employee. |

Caravaneer 2: The Man of Zinc and Chunk Nariz, an expy of Chuck Norris, both have a large religious following in the wasteland. There's also the Kivi religion, in which they worship a scientist named Spencer Rice who showed them how to do agriculture effectively. | |

Gathering Blue: A group of survivors worships a cross recovered from a Christian church. They don't know what Christianity actually was composed of before the apocalypse, but they do know that the cross had some importance. | |

Count to the Eschaton: The far-future civilization of the Witches has a greatly confused notion of the world's history. In particular, they believe that figures such as Hermione, Sabrina or Samantha are actual powerful witches from history, and so invoke their names in their rituals. When Menelaus (who comes from a much earlier era) tries to correct a Witch on this, the Witch replies haughtily that surely the ancients wouldn't have devoted so much loving attention to these figures if they weren't real. | |

Family Guy: One episode sees Peter combining the Roman Catholicism with which he was raised with inspiration from his one-time spirit guide Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzerelli from Happy Days and starting his own church. Eventually, Peter's followers are co-opted by churches built around other '70's sitcom characters (also, Kirk Cameron). | |

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome: The kids are waiting for Captain Walker (Ã la John Frum) and believe things like records and radios are magical, even if they don't know how to use them. "Captain Walker" is a Shout-Out to Riddley Walker, another classic post-apocalyptic tale. Given the end of the world was just a few years before, there was almost certainly a real Walker and the kids are half-remembering things they were too young to understand. | |

Transmetropolitan is set an indeterminate amount of time in the future. In fact, no one in the comic actually knows what year it is, at least according to our calendar. Vestiges of modern civilization abound, but the people have some... interesting interpretations. For example: | |

Martian Successor Nadesico: It turns out that the Jovian Lizards were humans all along. A long abandoned space colony orbiting Jupiter, left to its own devices, where Gekiganger 3 is treated as a sacred text and code of conduct. All jovian men we get to see model themselves after the three main pilots of the anime, and they all treat the show's female lead as a society-wide waifu. | |

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Nora tribe worships the All-Mother, holding a specific vault in a particular mountain (implied to be Cheyenne Mountain, given its proximity to the ruins of Colorado Springs) to be sacred to her, especially a door which they can't pass through. They are Metaphorically True, in that the vault and others like it are where all of modern humanity originates, and there is a benevolent female immortal presence who struck down the Metal Devils. It's just a lot more complicated than that. The Carja tribe is all about sun worship. The first Sun-King found an ancient textbook about the sun which led to a great migration. Modern Carja believe their kings are chosen by the Sun, and that it has a will and enacts judgment. Again, they are broadly correct, in that the sun is immensely crucial to life on Earth even if it doesn't have that kind of intent and personhood. The sequel Forbidden West introduces the Quen, who revere Ted Faro as the prophet who saved the world and Elisabet Sobeck as his Hypercompetent Sidekick. Their titles, such as the "Board of Overseers" and the "Ceo", are taken from 21st century corporations. They don't realize that Faro was a Corrupt Corporate Executive who had a severe falling out with Sobeck, who was the one who was actually responsible for most of his company's innovations, nor do they realize that Faro's greed destroyed the world. Alva, a Quen Diviner who is part of their expedition to North America, has a severe Broken Pedestal moment when she learns the truth about her ancient idol. Also in Forbidden West are the Tenakth, a Proud Warrior Race who worship a group of ancient god-like soldiers called the Ten. Their holiest site is a building filled with holograms boasting of the Ten's mighty deeds, they go into battle adorned in red, white, and blue body paint, and they emulate their heroes by leaping from above to attack their foes. It's revealed that the building is a military museum dedicated to a paratrooper unit called JTF-10. |

Battlefield Earth: The few surviving humans believe that advertising statues left from before the Psychlos' invasion of Earth are gods that had been turned into stone as punishment for falling in love with mortal women. In the book, the bald eagle on the Great Seal of the United States (as seen on coins, belt buckles, etc.) draws the same reverence. | |

Babylon 5: G'Kar wonders if Daffy Duck is some sort of household god in Earth religions upon seeing a poster in Garibaldi's quarters. An actual Church of Elvis exists on Earth in the B5 universe, and representatives were invited to participate in an interfaith conference on the station. |

Mortal Engines: The London museum includes, among its exhibits depicting the pre-apocalyptic world, "plastic statues of Mickey and Pluto, the animal-headed gods of lost America". Fever Crumb: In one scene, Fever encounters "...celebrants in robes and pointed hats whirling and clapping and chanting the name of some old-world prophet, 'Hari, Hari! Hari Potter!'" |

Ironically, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, which did an entire episode warning about the dangers of cults, actually spawned a cult in Russia that worships Gadget... who (again, ironically) was the most against the cult to start with. That cult also considers some other Wrench Wenches as reincarnations of The Goddess, including Kaylee and Florence. |
