Maybe it's the connection The Bible makes between fire and punishment. Maybe it's just that flickering, destructive flames work so well to signify a dangerous, unstable mind. Whatever the case, fire is often used as a motif in fiction for religious fanatics and extremists. It's pretty common to see such a character preaching in front of bonfires or braziers, or, in more extreme cases, burning sacrifices alive. Often overlaps with Evil Is Burning Hot, Hellfire, Burn the Witch!, Self-Immolation and Light Is Not Good (particularly if the fire itself is divine, though even normal fire emits light). Compare Sacred Flames. |

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney): Frollo frequently references the fires of hell (including in his Villain Song, called "Hellfire") and attempts to burn Esmeralda at the stake, as well as burning down a lot of the city. He eventually meets his own death by fire, with a heaping side of Irony, as he says "and he [God] will smite the wicked and plunge them into a fiery pit" before losing his footing on a gargoyle and falling into the "fiery pit" he's made of Paris. | |

Supernatural: Angels have a connection to fire: they burn out the eyes of anyone who sees their true form and their basic attack is to sear someone's insides with a touch. However, while they're all unquestionably trusting in God, it's not entirely fair to call them all fanatics. | |

Moriarty the Patriot associates fire with William Moriarty constantly, and he is a fanatical reformist. It also overlaps with Kill It with Fire, Evil Is Burning Hot, and Fire Purifies in a very religious way at times. | |

Discworld: In Small Gods, a character from the fundamentalist nation of Omnia shows his God (who's not very attentive) a rather large furnace shaped like a bull, assuring said God that they use it for burning heretical material, not people. Turns out "heretical material" does indeed include people, Omnians just don't consider them thus. | |

Elden Ring: Fire magic is almost exclusively the purview of faith-based incantations. Even the very few sorceries involving fire require a certain level of faith stat in addition to the intelligence usually associated with sorcery. And unlike holy and lightning incantations, the faiths associated to fire incantations range from morally grey to outright malevolent. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: A subversion: priests of the Red God. The best known one, Melissandre, plays it straight by being a Knight Templar and has quite a penchant for burned offerings. However, other R'hllorists are just ordinary people in spite of the fire motif. | |

Magic: The Gathering: Some beings aligned with Red and White mana tend to mix white's fundamentalism with red's pyromania. Notable examples include the insane angels in Shadows over Innistrad, which have gone on a murderous rampage against humanity and burn everything to the ground. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Sisters of Battle, Inquisitors, and other fanatical Imperial organizations traditionally use flamers and other fire-based weaponry. The Order of the Ashen Shrine, a minor Order of the Sisters of Battle, is notable for having an obsession with flames unusual even for the Sororitas, as they believe that it represent's the Emperor's holy word, and for the fire-based miracles that follow them into battle — stories about the order include volcanic fissures opening across battlefields, burning meteors raining upon their enemies, or machines targeted by their forces being consumed in fiery explosions. | |

Lies of P: The boss King's Flame Fuoco is a puppet which has Grew Beyond Their Programming with enough force to develop the capacity for faith and worship. It was a puppet responsible for the forge in the Venigni Works factory, and therefore has a lot of fire powers, including launching fireballs and setting the ground ablaze. It wields this fire in the service of the King of Puppets, and translating its Boss Banter reveals it spends most of the fight chanting prayers and paeans to its figure of worship. | |
