Religion can inspire, confuse or annoy people in any multitude of ways, but the stories found within religion and mythology can be used as inspiration. Think about all the places that religion and mythology show up in popular culture.
Experiment with taking a Biblical story, or some mythology, or even some old legends and making it modern, or post-modern, or throw it into the 1950's somewhere. Take a message from a biblical story and apply it to a new story, or think about how another writer would approach a biblical story. What if Edgar Allan Poe had rewritten The Binding of Issac?
