(I believe I've asked about a half dozen questions pertaining to this post-apocalyptic novel, including my "[is this story too diverse](https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/41078/is-my-story-too-diverse?rq=1)" question. This sort of pertains to that.)

Last night, I thought of something I hadn't before. My story has no mention of religion. I don't really think it's applicable, because these people aren't exactly focused on praying or worshipping, they're consumed with the daily task of surviving in a barren world. I'm fairly sure a character or two has said "Oh my God" or the like, but that's pretty much it.

But with the level of diversity that I include (which I _do not_ plan on changing), is no mention of religion a bad thing? Does it seem as though I am ignoring religion entirely? Is it bad that religion has no place in this world?

(Final note, didn't know how to include this: I'm pagan, but up until recently I thought I was atheist.)
