A Cargo Cult is a group of people worshiping, by way of imitative ritual, some misunderstood object as a deity.
The name comes from a documented effect that World War II military forces had on natives of various South Pacific islands. Almost eighty years after the war, some tribes in Vanuatu are still building elaborate fake airfields and praying to idols shaped like airmen, runways and DC-3 cargo planes.
There is a mythical character they call "John Frum," who they believe to be the source of their prosperity. Some anthropologists think this may have been the result of American soldiers introducing themselves as "John, from [America]."
Many Cargo Cults are distinguished by a mixture of native spiritual systems with elaborate economic rituals, as capitalism has come to replace military power as the force of the developed world that is most heavily felt in daily life. Such rituals have the aim of appropriating the perceived power of the symbols.
Cargo Cult can be a metaphor for superficial imitation of a process without basic understanding of its mechanism. Those South Pacific natives weren't worshiping cargo for nothing. They observed how military forces were constantly getting food and supplies without doing any actual (by their standards) work. The only explanation that made sense was "military activity is some kind of religious ritual rewarded by spiritual deities with all the goods". So, with the military forces gone, natives have tried to reproduce the rituals - that includes imitation landing strips, wooden radio towers, coconut headphones and body paintings in the form of military insignias. The metaphor originally was coined by Richard Feynman, who used it in the phrase "cargo cult science".
Compare Mighty Whitey and Insufficiently Advanced Alien. Contrast with Sufficiently Advanced Alien. If the society worshiping the religion is post-apocalyptic, try All Hail the Great God Mickey! If the religion worships technology itself rather than as a means to an end, you have a case of Machine Worship. See also Giant Animal Worship when the "god" is a living animal.
Note: This trope is for objects being worshiped. If characters pretend to be, or are just mistaken for gods, the trope is God Guise.

In Destiny, the Vex, an already advanced and incomprehensible race of robots, came across the Black Heart - a fragment of the Darkness even more advanced and incomprehensible they they were. They saw no other option than to worship it. This was later explained in the Book of Sorrows to be a subversion; after they encountered the Hive and their Religion is Magic powers they tried it themselves, then kept doing it because it worked.

In the third Empire from the Ashes book, the people of Pardal worship an ancient defense computer as the voice of God, using the "Holy Tongue" (the language of the former Fourth Imperium) to speak with it in such holy rituals as... "System Test"... and "High Fire Test". That same religion also condemns developing technology as heresy. Sean and crew get mistaken for Demons by the entire population and later for Angels (and their champions) by the rebels.

"The Mayors": The priest of the Foundation's "religion of science" have only a superficial understanding of the Foundation's technology. This religion was created by the scientists of Terminus for the neighboring kingdoms without explaining the scientific principles behind the equipment. It was the most convenient way to spread atomic technology to the Four Kingdoms who have regressed into barbarism (The Galactic Spirit Did It). This story has Mayor Hardin showing the citizens of Terminus that this Scam Religion gives them power over the people of these kingdoms, if not the rulers.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, Seto Kaiba sending Jaden's cards into space is shown to not only have led to an alien civilization finding them, but basing a religion and their entire development as a society around Yi-Gi-Oh, kicking off the plot. The real kicker was that this was exactly his plan. In his own words, "'Cause I figure, if there is intelligent life out there, then let's teach 'em how to duel."

In Destroyermen, the Lemurians have Sky Priests who guide their massive home-ships through the sea by using sacred scrolls handed down to them for many generations. The Sky Priests don't let anybody else see the scrolls, as they're the only ones who can read their holy tongue. When the men from the USS Walker arrive on one of the home-ships, they quickly find out that the sacred scrolls are old charts written in Latin, left there by a man who came over centuries ago on an East Indiaman. While the Lemurians accept the truth when told, the Sky Priests still bristle whenever they see a chart openly displayed for anyone to see, especially since those charts are in English.

Forbidden West introduces the Tenakth, a cargo cult based around the United States military. The founders of the tribe discovered the ruins of the Mojave Battlefield Memorial Museum dedicated to the heroism of Joint Task Force 10 during the Hot Zone Crisis (with some embellishment, as the museum’s backers had a very particular view of what happened during the crisis), and organized their society along the lines of their ancient heroes.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann had an underground village that worshiped Agodego, a "face-God", a Gunman that had fallen into the village long ago. At the end of the episode, it was revealed that Magin the high priest knew what it really was, and only used the religion to help enact the harsh rules that were vital for Adai's survival. He ends up saving the day when a Beastman attacked the village and was fighting Gurren Lagann to a standstill, when Magin piloted Agodego and threw the enemy's Gunman into a deeper cave that was sealed off by it..

In Borderlands 2, the Bloodshot bandit gang formed a cargo cult around the arms dealer Marcus, who they gave the title "The Gunbringer." Their rituals involve standing around large gold (painted) statues of him (a portly Eastern-European man with a crew cut and douche-'stache) and chanting "GUNS! GUNS! GUNS!," with the occasional praise thrown in for good measure. The funny part is, Marcus doesn't care overmuch who buys from him, cash is plentiful, and he has vending machines that sell both guns and ammunition to anybody who comes to call.

In the novelization, the cats are waiting for "Cloister", who has been frozen in time, but will one day re-emerge to lead them to "Bearth".

In Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Setsuna takes his devotion to Gundams to almost Machine Worship levels, shown by his complete and utter awe when he first saw the 0 Gundam in action right after he declared there is no God, as well as his repeated declarations of "I am Gundam", meaning the complete submission to Celestial Being's ideals by becoming the very symbol of the eradication of conflict (that is, a Gundam). Based on his reaction to the works of Ali and the Trinity team, using a mobile suit even remotely similar in appearance to a Gundam to shed blood just for the hell of it borders on blasphemy to him — seeing that Setsuna is Kurdish and spent an unknown amount of time as a fanatical Child Soldier who killed his own parents in the name of God, he's capable of a devotion.

In Attack on Titan, it is explicitly stated that humans built the three enormous walls keeping the titans out, yet there is still a religion worshipping the walls as gods and/or the work of gods. However, there is increasing evidence that the walls were in fact built by someone else, and the Wall Cult seems to know a lot more than they are letting on.
Later chapters reveal there is a grain of truth in their words, but the atrocious, bloody history behind the 'miracles' has been completely whitewashed; the 'goddess' Ymir is real, but was merely a slave who accidentally discovered and merged with an eldritch symbiote that turned her into the first Titan. Then her master-husband used her to build the Eldian empire, and ultimately discarded her corpse to be eaten by their own children so the Eldian royal-bloods would have Titan-Shifting powers, which includes the king who ordered his Titan minions to form a stone wall with their latent powers, which was sculpted into its modern form by men. Then Eren takes control of Ymir and everything goes to hell as the wall explodes.

Neon Genesis Evangelion has shades of this, especially SEELE. They refer to the creatures and events of the series in religious terms but their so-called "Angels" are actually pieces of alien biotechnology used to terraform planets (although since life on Earth was created by them they could be said to be gods of a sort). Their "Dead Sea Scrolls" are actually a poorly translated instruction manual.

Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger uses this trope to deconstruct the Alien Non-Interference Clause. The ANIC of that universe, the "First Law", was designed to stop con men from making use of this trope on less civilized worlds, not, say, prevent an alien probe from eating people of that world because they didn't have Faster Than Light travel. A later comic put the ship's captain on trial and found him guilty of eight million counts of negligent homicide for that stunt.

In Final Fantasy XVI, the Crystalline Orthodox is the state religion of the Iron Kingdom. They worship the Mothercrystals, gargantuan crystals that produce magic, as gods. While the other nations of the world mine smaller crystals from the Mothercrystals to use their magic for daily life, the Orthodoxy sees the practice as sacrilegious, shuns all use of magic, and wages a holy war to take the Mothercrystals from those who would use their power.

Dream Park features a virtual reality-enhanced live-action roleplaying session based around the real-world Cargo Cult. In the time travel mini-Game which the Sands brothers and Eviane play early in The Barsoom Project, the cave-dwelling young savages are actually the offspring of time travelers who got stranded as children. They grew up thinking of the chamber where their parents' non-functional time machine is located as "church" and go there to pray.

Similar to the example mentioned under Comics, in Batman: The Brave and the Bold features a group of humanoid tigers that worship a still-active nuclear warhead, referring to it by the letters painted on the side; "ICBM".

Prelude to Foundation: The remnant of Spacers living in one sector of Trantor has built their life around a religion (which they call "history"), where the central pieces are reconstructed photos of the Spacer Worlds, and the main relic is a broken down Robot Maid.

The Order of the Stick:
When Elan visits an island filled with primitive orcs, they treat him like any other human... until he brings out Banjo, when they start bowing in supplication. That's right: the orcs thought that Elan's kooky hand-puppet was a god. Elan also thinks Banjo's a god. He's actually pretty stoked that someone else is acknowledging it, although he's not so happy that the orcs won't give Banjo back. Technically, Banjo probably is a god. Possibly the weakest god imaginable, but, somehow, divine nonetheless. This is due to OotS using the Gods Need Prayer Badly rules.
Banjo's existence as a newborn god is discussed as a way to thwart stage four by replacing the Dark One's Divine Quddity with Banjo's in the ritual to seal the Snarl forever, but ultimately dismissed by Roy due to Banjo's lack of experience and followers.

The Red Dwarf episode "Waiting for God":
The race of humanoids that evolved from Lister's pet cat discovered his plan to move to Fiji (which they called Fuschal) and open a hot dog and doughnut stand, and built a religion around it. They near-obliterated themselves in a holy war over what colour the silly hats for the wait staff would be, and then the survivors left to search for Fuschal using star charts left behind by "Cloister" — the old laundry list used by Lister to line the original cat's bed. The colours fought over were red and blue. Lister, however, intended them to be green.
In the novelization, the cats are waiting for "Cloister", who has been frozen in time, but will one day re-emerge to lead them to "Bearth". The other cats believe exactly the same thing, except he was called "Clister". Naturally, they nearly wipe out their own species in religious war, then leave to find the promised land.

Exalted: A variation occurs; before the rise of the Guild, there were many people who worshiped the Order Conferring Trade Pattern (an ancient series of magical financial networks) based on the mistaken view that the Pattern functioned by directly converting prayer into fiscal prosperity. Most of those cults are long since defunct, having proven easy marks for Brem Marst when he needed the funds to start the Guild.

The Jack Campbell note  author of The Lost Fleet, Paul Sinclair, Stark's War, and The Pillars of Reality science fiction short story "Kyrie Eleison" follows the descendants of shipwreck survivors who have a religion based upon following "the Captain" and his mortal representative the first officer. Their hymn is based upon repeating technical jargon related to the original crash, that they were banished to the planet for failing to serve the captain well, and that one day those who trust in the Captain will be rescued and return to the stars.

In City of No End, the peoples of the Depths have a shamanic religion based around praying to "pipe-spirits" that are believed to govern the City's life-support systems. The Diagnostic Manual for operating these systems is treated as a sacred text. The surface peoples are Ascensionists, who believe that their Church will grant salvation by Brain Uploading into some kind of ancient computer system that will hopefully activate into an Artificial Afterlife at some point in the future, but it's unclear exactly how much of a Cargo Cult this religion might be.

Fallout 3 introduces the Children of Atom, a cult that worships the unexploded atomic bomb laying at the heart of the settlement of Megaton. The group is initially more of a pest than anything, since its preacher continuously rambles about Atom's holy Glow, but the Broken Steel add-on reveals a darker side to the group when a member starts tainting purified water with radiation in her efforts to bring Enlightenment to the rest of the Capital Wasteland. They get worse in Fallout 4, where most cult members are hostile enemies who attack anyone they see with Gamma Guns and Nuke Grenades, while one group even attempted to get into a pre-War missile silo to grab its warheads. The branch encountered in the Far Harbor DLC is so eager to experience the glory of Division that they're willing to commit mass suicide by detonating a nuclear missile in the sub pen they're based at. Fallout 3 also has Sudden Death Overtime, a hockey-themed Gang of Hats. They have a rather misguided idea of what ice hockey was actually like, and are convinced it was about "icegangs" like them duking it out in massive arenas.

In the episode "What Goes Down Must Come Up" of The Venture Brothers, a group of orphans forgotten in a fallout shelter base a society and religion on a learning bed that plays fragments of educational videos about hygiene made by Jonas Venture for his son Rusty (and also on VH1 Classic). This gets complicated when the real, grown-up Rusty stumbles upon them and unplugs the bed. For bonus points, they also worship a nuke, but... oddly...

The 1984 book Interstellar Pig by William Sleator featured a small spherical object with a face — referred to as the "Pig" — which was highly sought-after by several species. At least one, an all-consuming Hive Mind ooze called the "lichen", believed it was a god of some sort that would bestow upon them eternal wisdom. It turns out that it's more like the Winslow than anything else — an incredibly annoying embodiment of ADHD that uses its reputation as an object of great power (religious or otherwise) to planet-hop like some kind of obnoxious freeloading tourist.

The Covenant from Halo. In addition to worshiping the Forerunners as literal gods, the Covenant hold all technology created by them as holy, to the point where any attempt to even just try to better understand, much less improve or modify, any technology reverse-engineered from Forerunner ruins runs a big risk of being seen as heresynote In Halo: First Strike, Cortana improves the Covenant carrier Ascendant Justice's slipspace drive and plasma weapons by modifying the settings.

Fallout:
Throughout the series is the Brotherhood Of Steel, a post-apocalyptic military order with shades of a technology-worshiping cult. Their goal is to prevent the mistakes of the past and stop anyone from abusing advanced technology, but how they go about this depends on the location and time period. Some chapters work to prevent the misuse of technology while defending and developing communities as pseudo-feudal overlords, while other branches have become paranoid isolationists who hoard technology, will forcibly confiscate anything more sophisticated than a pipe rifle from any wastelanders they encounter, and are even willing to kill anyone that might share their knowledge with outsiders.
Fallout 3 introduces the Children of Atom, a cult that worships the unexploded atomic bomb laying at the heart of the settlement of Megaton. The group is initially more of a pest than anything, since its preacher continuously rambles about Atom's holy Glow, but the Broken Steel add-on reveals a darker side to the group when a member starts tainting purified water with radiation in her efforts to bring Enlightenment to the rest of the Capital Wasteland.

In Thunder Cats 2011 the Book of Omens is an Ancient Artifact, the singular source of history, mythology and theology for the Cats of the kingdom of Thundera. Lost for generations, Shrouded in Myth, Famed In-Story and dogged by skepticism, it's reputed to be a Great Big Book of Everything, the source by which its kings orate their history, a Tome of Fate to the order of Clerics who maintain its Ancient Traditions, and a source of fascination to those who believe its tales of Lost Technology. Two of Thundera's best generals were sent questing for it for years, but when Thundera is invaded by ancient Outside-Context Problem Mumm-Ra, head Cleric Jaga reveals that it's definitely real, and sends young Prince Lion-O racing to find it before Mumm-Ra can. Once discovered it appears to be a Blank Book, but is actually a Magitek computer that will reveal the key to defeating Mumm-Ra.

The Han Solo Adventures:
Han accidentally created one in Han Solo's Revenge when he and Chewie attempted to run a legitimate holo-theater on a water-starved desert planet. At first, the only holo he had to play was a documentary on a water planet, and he didn't realize his "customers" were forming a religion until he got a new holo and they chased him off-world.
Han Solo and the Lost Legacy featured a group of cargo cultists who were the descendants of the crew of the treasure-laden starship of an ancient warlord; they lived on a backwater planet for generations, maintaining sacred "landing fields" complete with mock-ups of spaceships and ritualized "communications procedures".

In one of the episodes of the first season of Vandread, the Nirvana crew descends upon an aquatic planet who mistakes them for their "God". They don't mind when the crew mentioned that they weren't Gods, but they do mind when the aforementioned crew was "hurting their true Gods". The Gods that they refer to? The machinelike Harvesters, the same ones that the Nirvana crew have been fighting for at least 5 episodes, who came there for the people's spinal cords (which they knew and willingly offered as part of the religion).

Eddie is not amused to recognise the drums as the beat of "Velcro Fly" by ZZ Top with the lyrics muted, played over the public address speakers set up before the world moved on.

BattleTech: A few are known to exist in:
One short story shows a group of people living on a Periphery planet who, after being stranded there long enough to lose written language and all metalworking ability and thus reverting to Stone Age technology level start a new religion after one of their members sees a pair of Battlemechs fighting. There's also the infamous novel Far Country, in which a jumpship malfunction strands the passengers on a distant planet where they discover a species of primitive, bird-like aliens who worship the wreck of an old, abandoned mech.
The quasi-religious organization The Word of Blake is derisively called "toaster worshipers" both in and out of universe as a reference to their obsession with Star League technology. They don't quite worship tech, but it's close.

The Death Gate Cycle: This is what the religion of the dwarves/Gegs of Arianus boils down to. They were originally brought by the Sartan to serve the Kicksey-winsey, a continent-sized machine meant to supply Arianus with water and the other worlds with various goods, but since the Sartan vanished they have taken to worshiping the Sartan, whom they remember as the “Mangers�, and the machine itself, complete with priests known as “clarks�. This is something the elves exploited by pretending to be gods, getting the Gegs to give them the precious water in exchange for ships full of garbage and refuse that the Gegs think is treasure.

Godforsaken: The mirrormen literally worship liquid mirror, a type of naturally occurring but rare metal that is liquid at room temperature. To them, every bit of it is part of a vast deity, a sacred object or being they are not worthy to touch — but neither is anyone else. Damaging liquid mirror is the greatest sin imaginable, and creating art with it is considered damaging it.

The Star Trek: The Original Series episode "A Piece of the Action" has the natives of a planet building their entire society in mimicry of a book "Chicago Mobs of the Twenties" left behind accidentally by an earlier starship. An incredibly info-dense book, too, as the locals even copy the fashions, automotive styling, architecture, and firearm designs of 1920's America. At the end of the episode Bones suspects he may have left some Federation tech behind, and wonders aloud if the locals might trade up from being gangster fanboys to being, well, Trekkies.note This was eventually handwaved in one of the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch novels: The ship in question suffered from a major engine problem and the crew spent a long time stuck there while they patched it up, enlisting the help of the locals and running off translated copies of every science and engineering textbook in the ship's library by way of payment. A bit of dialogue as the crew depart hangs a lampshade on the fact that they were unusually quick to pick up skills but had a tendency to imitate rather than innovate, and then they have an Oh, Crap! moment when they realize what else they left behind.

The Elder Scrolls
The Imga, a race of intelligent "ape folk" native to Valenwood, revere the Altmer (High Elves) as the portrait of their ideal and seek to emulate the Altmer in any way they can. This includes shaving off their fur, powdering their skin, using noble titles with no idea of their meaning, and acting condescending and haughty towards humans and non-elves. In-game literature describes the attempts as pitiful.
The Rieklings, a race of diminutive blue-skinned humanoids native to Solstheim who somewhat resemble "ice goblins", are known to scavenge and hoard detritus from the more civilized races which they then "form a strange attachments" to and have even been witnessed worshiping these relics. These items include all manner of sellable items, to weapons and armor, to the remains of a crashed experimental airship.

PlanetSide has the Vanu Sovereignty, a cult of scientists, cyborgs and other weirdos who have been "touched" by the technology of the lost Precursor who once dwelt on Auraxis and now wage war with the goal of "enlightening" the rest of humanity, whether they want to be enlightened or not. It's heavily implied that the artifacts themselves have brainwashed the cultists and are driving them to spread their creed to the other humans on the planet.

In The Bible, it's just referred to as idolatry, which is worshiping manmade objects as God, which God is strongly against and equates to being the same as adultery, which here is being unfaithful to God. Even objects that were made by godly people like Moses, such as the bronze serpent which cured people who were bitten by fiery serpents who looked at it, ended up being worshiped as a god unto itself by the time King Hezekiah of Judah became king. He destroyed it and called it Nehushtan ("a thing of bronze") to mock the Jews for their idiocy in worshiping a lifeless object.

Cthulhu Armageddon: The worship of the Great Old Ones all turns out to be this as they awoke from their millennia of slumber and promptly ignored all of the various cults devoted to them. They don't even appear to be aware of most of them, treating the Deep Ones with the same disdain as their human followers. This proved devastating to most cultists while it encouraged others to pray harder. Subverted by Nyarlathotep who is actually quite interested in his worshipers and often appears to them to give them exactly what they desire, in hopes of seeing them destroyed by it.

Dungeons & Dragons: The 3rd Edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting mentions a Cult of Entropy in the nation of Chessenta. This cult worshiped a giant, explicitly nonsentient sphere of annihilation (an artifact that disintegrates anything that touches it). A 4th edition issue of Dragon magazine retconned this cult into worshiping a primordial embodiment of chaos that had been trapped in the form of a sphere of annihilation.

After the End: A Post-Apocalyptic America features several religions with cargo cult-like traits. The Rust Cultists and the Atomicists are the clearest, with the Rust Cult holding reverence for the technology of old and the Atomicists worshipping the power of the atom (as represented by, amongst other things, old nuclear reactors). The Americanists are mainly All Hail the Great God Mickey!, but aspects of this trope creep in in their veneration for the surviving 'holy' texts and monuments of the Founding Fathers. The Consumerists raise consumerism to a religion inspired by the remnants of old shopping malls, but don't actually exist until several years into the game.

The Nibiruans in the opening sequence of Star Trek Into Darkness begin worshipping the starship Enterprise after seeing it rise out of the water. In keeping with the Prime Directive, a big deal is made out of keeping the starship out of the view of the primitive Nibiruans who have "barely invented the wheel". Funnily enough, the name of the the primitive human-visitor-worshiping aliens seems to be a tongue-in-cheek nod to Nibiru, the home planet of alien visitors revered by Ancient Astronaut theorists.

Warhammer 40,000:
Man's comprehension of technology has fallen so sharply that humans believe that all technological devices have spirits that have to be appeased through prayer and worship before they will work properly. Although this is something of a subversion, since it actually works. While parts of the rituals are implied to be unnecessary and can be skipped over in an emergency, they also include everything needed to actually build and maintain all of humanity's advanced technology. In the case of Titans and Land Raiders, which are at least partly sentient, even the worship can be necessary since it isn't a good idea to upset a 100 metre tall robot with enough firepower to wipe out entire armies.
The Orks of Blood Axes Clan imitate Human uniforms and military paraphernalia, believing them to be extremely powerful magic charms. This includes Nobs sporting looted Commissar caps to increase their leadership skills, Stormboyz ordering attack patterns nobody but the Nob is actually familiar with (and generally just boil down to "yell and charge" anyway), and any number of Orks adorning their guns with off-center targeting sights that they don't actually use anyway.

In Men in Black II a race of tiny aliens living in a rental locker worship a watch that K left behind. When K retrieves this watch, J replaces it with his own, becoming a new deity for the locker people. They also treat a video rental card as if it were the Ten Commandments, interpreting the words in their own way. For example, "Be kind! Rewind!" is seen as "Reconcile your past in order to move into your future!" and "Two for one every Wednesday" means "Give twice as much as ye receive on our most sacred of days. Every Wednesday." Unfortunately, things start to get nasty with "Large adult entertainment section in the back."

When information about an upcoming Splatfest is announced in Splatoon, it is represented as a message "from on-high" coming through an old 1990s fax machine with candles ceremonially placed around it. In the single-player campaign for the first game, the Sunken Scroll depicting the fax machine even has a vague metaphysical blurb on it. Word of God states the fax machine is receiving and printing out various mundane arguments that were transmitted into space thousands of years ago, and reflected back to Earth.

In "The Doctor's Daughter", the humans and Hath have both convinced themselves that reclaiming "the Source" and denying it to the other race is a holy mission, having long since forgotten it's just a terraforming device both sides were intended to activate together.

Played interestly in A Canticle for Leibowitz. In the aftermath of nuclear war, Roman Catholic monastaries have taken up the task of preserving as much of mankind's technical knowledge as they can. They still maintain traditional Catholicism, but they also treat technical texts and secular history with a quasi-religious reverence. It's mentioned that some groups worship technical relics more directly, with some people dying from eating electronic components as part of their rituals. The monks look down on this, but also spend years turning electronic blueprints into elaborately decorated vellum scrolls.

Blake's 7:
In "Deliverance", the descendants of an After the End society await a god from the skies with the knowledge to launch the rocket with genetic bank to start their race on another world. Avon is entirely willing to take on the role. Likely an Invoked Trope as the scientist who built the rocket was killed off, and the survivors would know that only aliens capable of interstellar travel would have the knowledge to repair it.
In "Power", another After the End society decided to destroy all their technology and start again from the beginning. The Hypercompetent Sidekick of local chieftain Gunn Sar has found a Master Computer room they missed, that he uses to secretly keep things running for their barbarian descendants.
Averted with the barbarian chieftain Chel in "Aftermath". His response to 'outsiders' is that of an Absolute Xenophobe, as the prophecies have foretold that they've come to destroy his people. Given the way the Federation acts, it's hard to blame him.

Sufficiently Advanced includes Cargo Cults as one of the types of civilizations PCs can come from. Due to the hectic far flung nature of the diaspora, and the insanely advanced science of most of the cultures cargo cults are incredibly common, and the PCs can end up dealing with them fairly often. Interestingly, the original premise for the game was entirely based around cargo cults, until the creator had a better idea.

Orphans of the Sky: The post-mutiny shipboard society recalls scientific and technical knowledge only in the form of ritualized behavior and poorly understood superstition. The Crew and Muties both worship Jordan — that is, the Jordan Foundation that built the ship — as a god, "Scientists" are a priestly caste who focus on memorizing and protecting dogma, and old textbooks and manuals are preserved as religious texts but, because they talk about complicated concepts that nobody actually understands, they are believed to be highly allegorical spiritual and moral treatises.

Shredder Orpheus features this in its ending, where Orpheus's skull is worshiped as a symbol of hope for the youth, for luck in future skateboarding, and in remembrance of his defiance of the EBN.

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome features an isolated tribe After the End who worships a jet airliner as their personal Mecca and its pilot, Captain Walker, as a God who will guide them to "Tomorrow-morrow Land"—that is, the world of skyscrapers and urban life that no longer exists.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Natural Law", Chakotay and Seven crash-land on a planet inhabited by primitive humans. Their women begin to wear bones and salvaged electrical equipment on their faces to match Seven's Borg implants, while the men begin to copy Chakotay's tribal tattoo.

An episode of Legends of Tomorrow has a temporal anomaly sending a Furby-like toy called Beebo to approximately 1000 AD into Vinland, the Viking colony in North America. Beebo is seen by them as something of a god, and its preprogrammed phrases (such as "Beebo is hungry") are interpreted as a call to war and conquest, resulting the Vikings conquering the entire continent (naming it New Valhalla) instead of abandoning the colony and going home. Oh, and Christmas is known as "Beebo Day" in the altered timeline.

Horizon Zero Dawn:
It is revealed that the basis for the Nora Tribe's All-Mother is actually the door to a vault that only responded to Aloy's presence. Though this is also an unusual example, in that the tribe got surprisingly close to the truth. The original Nora were Raised by Robots, including one named Mother. The is also a true AI, GAIA, who was in charge of terraforming the world as well as re-seeding the first generation of new humans. The Nora had no way of knowing about GAIA, but their myths of the All-Mother and her defeat of the Metal Devil aren't particularly far off.
The Carja's worship of the Sun is apparently based on an old astronomy textbook, and when they found a shining tower they declared it a sacred site. The tower is actually part of GAIA's subordinate function MINERVA, used to shut down the Faro Robots that had destroyed the world. They also have a Devil-figure called the "Buried Shadow" that is the opposite of the Sun, the other half of nature that is part of the cycle of the world. HADES, one of GAIA's rogue subordinate functions, pretends to be the Buried Shadow to manipulate them. Interestingly, the myth of the Buried Shadow sounds quite a lot like HADES before it went rogue, with all the talk about destroying the world so that it can be remade again.
Forbidden West introduces the Tenakth, a cargo cult based around the United States military. The founders of the tribe discovered the ruins of the Mojave Battlefield Memorial Museum dedicated to the heroism of Joint Task Force 10 during the Hot Zone Crisis (with some embellishment, as the museum’s backers had a very particular view of what happened during the crisis), and organized their society along the lines of their ancient heroes.

In Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Taylor uncovers a group of humans who not only survived the apocalypse in the past, but had been turned into disfigured mutants. They worship an intact, unexploded bomb which they keep enshrined in St. Patrick's Cathedral.

WildStar has the Ascendancy, a cult of augmented beings obsessed with turning everyone else into cybernetic horrors like them. They see omniplasm and augmentation as a means to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence they assume the Eldan had gone to.

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers:
In "Kiwi's Big Adventure", a tribe of Kiwis worship the Ranger Plane as a deity and expect it to give them back their ability to fly.
In "The Case of the Cola Cult", a large group of mice in tunics worship a defunct soda brand. While the leader and his followers are sincere in their beliefs, the second-in-command turns out to be secretly hoarding the "wordly possessions" the other worshipers have given up.

In the original Transformers cartoon, the second-season episode 'The God Gambit' has a tribe of Rubber-Forehead Aliens on the moon Titan worshiping a statue that looked vaguely Transformer-like. Then Cosmos crash-lands on the planet, and they start worshiping him instead. He is deactivated at the time. Then Astrotrain arrives, and starts taking advantage of all this nonsense.

Captain America was worshiped by a tribe of Eskimos after WWII while he was still frozen in a block of Arctic ice. Part of why he eventually thawed was because Namor, furious at what he perceived to be the Eskimos' idiocy in their choice of religion, hurled Cap's ice block into the ocean, and the currents pulled it into warmer climes. A much later story had a young man of the tribe utterly bewildered that his grandfather still worshipped Captain America.

In Hitty, Her First Hundred Years, the Prebles are shipwrecked on a tropical island, where natives become convinced that Hitty the doll is a god and take her away so they can build a shrine for her and smear berry juice on her face. After Hitty spends a few days as an idol, the Prebles prepare to leave the island in a boat, and Andy steals Hitty back for Phoebe.
