The "big three" of science fiction, Arthur C. Clarke, Asaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein, all nonreligious, wrote great stories that involved religious themes (most notably "The Star," "The Last Question," and Stranger in a Strange Land
There also are many authors who have written great stories with religious symbolism. I personally like the Space Trilogy
If you want to read the short stories "The Star" by Clarke and "The Last Question" by Asimov, the following websites have the full text of the stories:

Let me know if there are any other good religious-themed stories you'd like to point out.
Cordwainer Smith's short story, "Scanners Live in vain" is a great example of sci-fi Christian allegory. And it's also considered a classic of sci-fi short stories...
